Kommentar Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading.

In an interview, writer Octavia Butler described the process of creating her novel The Parable of the Sower in the following way: “[The idea] is to look at where we are now, what we are doing now, and to consider where some or our current behaviors and unattended problems might take us.” This course will explore fiction that is often labeled “science fiction” and/but that examines a world which is still recognizably linked to our contemporary world and located on planet earth. We will discuss questions of genre and aesthetics as well as the political implications of the literary works.
This class will take place online, with a predominantly asynchronous format (with weekly or biweekly video lectures and reading assignments posted regularly). However, we will meet via zoom during class time several times during the semester, so please make sure that you are generally available for a zoom meeting during class time (Fridays,12:15-13:45).
