Representing Nonhumans

Catalog description

This course will focus on literary and cultural texts that use nonhuman entities and configurations to explore questions of science, ethics, morality, and identity. In specific, we will look at how writers reconfigure the human through depictions of the animal, technology and the cyborg, the superhero, and the monster/alien (or some combination of these areas).
