COURSE DESCRIPTIONArt and literature have always dealt with real and imaginary encounters with the strange. Horror, Fantasy, Magical Realism, and Weird literature are examples of how we see and interpret the odd, the supernatural, and other disturbing representations of the strange. This class will examine how writers, artists and filmmakers see, read, and represent the supernatural and the strange in order to make sense of the mystery of otherness. We will place an emphasis on written narratives but will create meaningful connections with other forms of representation from the visual arts. Students will be encouraged to work with the instructor to create personal projects as long as these projects include a writing component.
