Literature of the Supernatural: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror is a Broward College Lit 2310 class.
LIT2310 provides a basic introduction to the
related fields of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, which can all be
categorized with their related branches under the general rubric of the
fantastic. We will look at representative fiction, films, shows, and scholarly
work for each of these categories to investigate the basic characteristics,
issues, and forms that characterize them.
The
course is organized around three essential questions:
- In what ways do science fiction, fantasy, and horror
reflect humanity back on itself?
- How does the work conform to genre expectations? Does
it bring anything new to the genre?
- How does adaptation impact the story?
Students on this literary journal are encouraged to blog about their experiences and thoughts as they work through the reading and viewing assignments. Check back weekly to see what's new!
