Instructor:
"HAUNTING, HORROR, AND OTHER GHOST
STORIES"
THIS RESEARCH SEMINAR IS DESIGNED
TO HELP STUDENTS CONCEPTUALIZE,
DEVELOP AND FINISH SIGNIFICANT
RESEARCH PROJECTS IN A SINGLE
QUARTER. IT SHOULD BE USEFUL FOR
STUDENTS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND WITH
VARIED RESEARCH INTERESTS. THIS
YEAR WE WILL THINK WITH HAUNTING,
HORROR, AND GHOSTS AS ENTRY POINTS
INTO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT POLITICS,
CULTURE, AND POWER. WHAT DO
INDIGENOUS ZOMBIE FILMS TELL US
ABOUT COLONIALISM? HOW MIGHT
HORROR FILMS SPEAK TO MISOGYNY AND
RACIAL VIOLENCE? CAN WE THINK
ABOUT HAUNTING AS ANTI-COLONIAL
PRACTICE? WHAT CAN DRACULA AND
FRANKENSTEIN TELL US ABOUT THE
ANXIETIES OF MODERN CAPITALISM?
