RUSS 324 - Science Fiction in Russia and Eastern Europe3 Credit Hours
Russia and Eastern Europe have a particularly rich tradition of science fiction writing, with well-known authors like Stanislav Lem, Evgeny Zamyatin, and the Strugatsky brothers. This course explores the way science fiction re-figures the nature of the present through the lens of a fantastical scientific imagination, with special attention to how literature and society interrelate in societies that have crossed boundaries from communism, to capitalism, and sometimes, to “illiberal democracy.” Texts from the 20th and 21st centuries. All reading and writing in English, except for Russian majors. Writing emphasis course.
