51-3203 Posthumanism in Science Fiction

This course examines science fiction visions of posthumanism. Through film excerpts and readings (novels, philosophy, sociology and science), we will explore fundamental questions of human identity, race and gender. We will also focus on the conflict between the techno-utopian visions of scientists and the techno-dystopian visions of science fiction artists.
