Where No Man Has Gone Before: Women and Science Fiction (FSL) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Lynette Kirschner, Anthony Waters

Inhalt: What can social science fiction tell us about society? How can this genre - whose roots lie in pulp fiction - shed light on a variety of social issues? How can you create a collaborative novella? These and other questions will be examined in this seminar. Students will read excerpts of social science fiction and investigate how this genre presents a critique of social conditions. In order to do this, students will acquire a knowledge of and apply various theories to analyze social aspects of select short stories and/or excerpts. In addition to the theoretical introduction, students will create a collaborative science fiction novella applying all the principles discussed in class. A collaborative novella is a group effort so students who take this class must be there on specific days. Please check the syllabus in myStudy to make sure you can be there.
