Outline (in English)

Comparative Literature on the Posthuman: Between Mechanization and Animalization?
(Course outline)In this class, we will review the images of "super-human" and "non-human" that have often appeared in Western history, and consider to what extent they overlap with the "posthuman" being discussed today, and to what extent they are critically different.
(Learning Objectives)By the end of the course, students should be able to do the followings:
- understand the history of the "posthuman" and its actuality.
- acquire and apply methods of analyzing and interpreting contemporary events in the context of literary, cultural, and ideological perspectives.
- communicate one's own ideas logically and persuasively in discussions and to contribute to the discussion.
(Learning activities outside of classroom)Students will be expected to have completed the required assignments after each class meeting. Your study time will be more than four hours for a class.
