READING THE WORLD OF MONSTERS While monsters are prevalent in literature, from children¿s tales to the most gruesome horror stories, defining what constitutes a ¿monster¿ proves to be difficult, if not impossible. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to a variety of literary and visual texts from around the world that feature monsters and to encourage you to think critically about how they represent and use monstrosity. As the monster is an ambiguous figure who both fascinates and frightens us, we will explore this strange relationship of attraction/repulsion and reflect on what it reveals about ourselves. * Please note that this is not a class on the horror genre. * Course material: academic articles, novels, short stories, comic books, and films. * Course requirements: reading, writing journals/short reflections, discussion, active participation, individual presentation
