AFST 311 - Race in Horror, Sci-Fi, and Thriller3 Credit Hours
This course engages with a wide-variety cultural material, including literature, films, television series, music, and studio art, to consider how horror, thriller, and sci-fi challenge and explore the social construction of race and its societal impacts. Students will critically examine materials from the early-twentieth century to the present-day related to contexts such as enslavement, scientific racism, and legal injustice with attention to how these and related topics appear in horror, sci-fi, and thriller. Additionally, students will consider questions regarding perspective and affect. Potential materials include works by W. E. B. Du Bois, Misha Green, Jordan Peele, Daniel Glover, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, and Tiya Miles.
(Same as ENGL 311 .)
