| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2529 This course unravels various tropes that haunt the horror genre, exploring how horror film and fiction reflect the values, mores and fears of a collective unconscious, with special emphasis on the ways in which racial stereotyping and gender violence are often deployed as horror tropes. We look closely at portrayals of violence, shock, resistance and power, asking how race and gender play central roles in the production of fear, terror, monstrosity and its subversion.; Pre-requisite(s): Open only to first-year students as assigned by the Director of College Writing.; Lottery Preference: Only first year students are eligible for these seminars.; Enrollment Limit: 12.00 Humanities (; Hav: HU) |
