Does humanity have a dualistic image? This course will focus on examining the meaning and symbolism associated with monsters from a range of texts in order to answer that question. From perspectives on mythology and fairytale, psychology, history, and literature, we will investigate using discussion-based Socratic method.
Discussion topics will include comparisons of the nurturing versus monstrous women, representations of conflicts between logical thought and religious belief, colonialism and the monstrous, the erotic-grotesque, and the discourse surrounding death and beauty. We will attempt to draw conclusions of what really constitutes the monstrous and how the meaning of monsters changes over time.

It is strictly forbidden to use AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude, CoPilot, etc.), auto-generated translations (e.g. Google Translate, DeepL, Linguee, etc.), and other types of technological "cheats" to complete classwork and reports; students who are caught using AI will receive a zero for the assignment and may be ineligible to pass the course.
Students should carefully keep a record of their attendance and participate actively during class. Students must not be absent more than 5 times or they may fail the course.
Students must use a laptop PC or tablet (ipad, surface, etc.) to join the Zoom class. Students are NOT allowed to join on their cellphones, due to problems with technology used in the classroom. Students should bring earphones if they join from campus because they will speak out loud and listen to their classmates during discussions. Students must join from the designated classrooms or their home. Students are not allowed to join Zoom from other locations, such as club rooms, cafes, outside, etc. because the internet becomes unstable, it is noisy, and disrupts the class.
