This seminar builds on the theoretical context and literary analyses provided in “Cyborgs, Clones & Close Encounters (Part 1)”. Students will expand the investigation of the posthuman by considering further cultural and social issues that are reflected in contemporary Science Fiction (e.g. the relevance of language and narrative in the formation of (post)human identities, new visions of human experience and relationships in film and TV, etc.). In addition to its focus on theory and cultural context, the seminar will also offer exercises and room for discussion with regards to academic writing and working with secondary texts.
A reader with material for discussion will be available at the beginning of the semester. |
