What we know

From the catalog
This survey covers major moments in the evolution of science fiction by exploring works by Arthur Clarke, Ursula Le Guin, and Jules Verne, and movies such as *2001: A Space Odyssey* and *Blade Runner*. Lecture and discussion will ask students to think about how and why do we draw the line between insider and outsider, friend and enemy, human and monster. Formally, students will consider what rhetorical conventions and plot elements characterize the science fiction genre.
