- Description
-
This course will study the influence of science and fantasy as an expression of literature and compare them with our sense of reality. Scientific and fantastic literature will be considered as a form of human and cosmic narrative. As Science fiction is a genre of fiction dealing with imaginative content (such as futuristic settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life), it will be interesting for students to develop their knowledge. In this course it will be explored the potential consequences of scientific and other innovations, as science fiction has been called a "literature of ideas". Authors commonly use science fiction as a framework to explore politics, identity, desire, morality, social structure, and other literary themes; as such it will be a challenge for students of this course to study all these points of view.
