Course Description

This quarter we will focus on movies centrally interested in new and strange ways of thinking about what a human being is.  How are we to understand the status of the android or of artificial intelligence more broadly?  What about the partially human or, say, the revenant?  How can we tell the difference between a “real” human and a fake one?  If there are liminal cases, what could that possibly mean?  We will begin the quarter with the early classic Frankenstein; additional films include The Stepford Wives, Blade Runner, Edward Scissorhands, Ex Machina, and Get Out.
