4 Credit(s)

From early local vampire myths to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and today’s proliferation of adolescent vampires, and from the very early Gilgamesh epic to contemporary science fiction, monsters of one sort or another have been part of the cultural imagination throughout human experience. This course examines how monsters have long reflected cultural anxieties. We will also look at how they have helped in every age to define what it means to be human.
