 |
 |
A woman founded the vital genre of science fiction, with the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in 1818, but when science fiction exploded into print in early 20th century pulp novels, comics and films, women were largely excluded from the "boy's club" of authors, critics and publishers. This course includes landmark science fiction stories written by women (sometimes under male pseudonyms), many of which deal with gender, race and sexual orientation in provocative ways, as well as excerpts from memoirs and biographies detailing the authors' struggles for publication and recognition. Turning to television and film, the course also focuses on the depiction of women in the genre and how it has changed over time. In addition to online clips from the 1950s through the 1970s, students will view the films Alien and Aliens in order to discuss the emergence of the heroic female in science fiction. Authors studied include Mary Shelley, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ayn Rand, C.L. Moore, Judith Merril, and James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice Sheldon).
By examining sci-fi texts by women and studying the representation of women in the genre, as authors, actors, critics, fans and subject, students will gain an appreciation for the role of imaginative literature in challenging and changing the values of a society. In addition to studying these texts in the context of women's writing and women's issues, students will also learn to recognize science fiction genre themes such as utopian, dystopian and apocalyptic fiction, and recognize how they have worked their way into literature and the media.
