Description: This course offers an introduction to the practices of literary studies through the theme of monsters and monstrosity. Considering examples from different genres, media (such as literature, film, graphic novels), and time periods, students analyze the cultural significance of the monster in the many forms it may take and explore the ways in which creative works, through such figures as the monster, represent and rethink realities (social, cultural, scientific, human) through the blurring of the real and the imaginary.
