ACES 110 - Monsters & American Culture


Credits: 5

Humanities/Social Science Monsters … and slashers … and ghosts! Oh, my! This course provides an opportunity to explore American culture and society through a history of monsters in literary fiction, folklore, film, television, and popular culture. We will examine monsters in context, thinking about the ways in which they reveal broader cultural fears and anxieties concerning race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, sustainability, immigration, religion, and science. An eclectic, fun, and rigorous collection of texts will be examined.
