ENG 2710 MONSTER'S INK: WRITING THE OTHERS

Molloy Monster Courses

ENG 2710 MONSTER'S INK: WRITING THE OTHERS (formerly ENG 271) From the thing under the bed to the beast within, from the freaks among us to the aliens at our borders, monsters have lurked in the shadows of English literature since there has been an English language. We will read and write about these monstrous representations in mythic tales, novels, films, scientific journals and tabloids as we catalog, interpret and synthesize our various human reactions to these more-or-less than human hybrids, metamorphs and chimeras. In the broadest sense, this course asks: "Do we define monsters by ourselves or ourselves by our monsters?" 3 credits
