EN 276 - Speculative Literature (3)

This course explores literature from the speculative literary tradition, considering what is enabled by a departure from literature based in realistic conventions. Through this course, students will encounter the limits and capabilities of magic, science, and the imagination through texts that envision new worlds or re-conceive of our own. Texts can include examples from the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, magical realism, or dystopic literature. Such texts will be read with particular attention to issues such as power, authority, language, tension, gender, and technology. Prerequisite: EN 111   2020 CORE: Liberal Arts, Literature/Rhetoric. Every semester
