GHUM 200 OP01 Great Works

Course Description:   In this course, we will focus on a humanistic examination of some major philosophical and social themes in speculative fiction.  However, in reading and discussing this diverse group of interesting and unusual literary works, both modern and historical, that may be categorized as "speculative," we will also be led to consider the cultural factors that influenced ideas about genre, "greatness," and canonicity in the humanities.  More generally, we'll challenge our own first responses to readings and hone our ability to evaluate literature and its potential as a gateway to new ideas and insights.  We'll explore some connections between literature and other creative works.  Finally, through all of these efforts, we'll work on improving our basic ability to approach ANY text (ie. Not just "literature") and, in fact, any communicative act critically, developing basic vocabulary and skills in the techniques of textual analysis.
