課程概述 |
This semester we will explore the topic of "monster." We will first discuss the concept of "monster" through the gothic tradition and then proceed to its cultural significance both as a concept that challenges the dominant cultural values AND as a cultural commodity that is easily subsumed under the logic of late capitalism. The first part of the course will center on short stories of "vampires" whereas in the second half of the semester we will read Bram Stoker's masterpiece Dracula and discuss the monstrosity that the work tries to convey. It is the instructor's intention to relate vampire to contemporary cultural milieu and tease out its cultural significance. |
