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.
