| 授業概要 | Continuing our explorations of the relationship between knowledge, power, and humanity, this semester will look more closely at the impact of science and technology through the novel Brave New World and the film Blade Runner. Published in 1931, Brave New World by English writer Aldous Huxley is one of modern English literature’s most famous examples of a dystopian novel. A dystopia, or “negative utopia,” is a vision of a world in which ideas and plans for a perfect society go terribly wrong. The novel tells the story of how a technologically advanced future society robs individuals of their humanity, and of how one character seeks to regain his. We will pay attention to what the novel says about modernity, and whether or not it makes relevant statements about our present time. Then we will screen Blade Runner, a 1982 film directed by Ridley Scott. The film depicts a future dystopian world in which cyborgs seek revenge on their human master. |
| 授業のねらい・到達目標 | The main objectives of this course are to introduce utopia/dystopia; to enhance understanding of the limits of knowledge, and how it can be used for good and ill; as well as to improve abilities in reading and interpreting complex texts in English, participating in discussions, and in writing essays. |
| 授業の形式 | 演習 |
| 授業の方法 | Classes will consist mostly of discussion with occasional short explanatory lectures. In the first eleven weeks, we will read and discuss Brave New World. For the remainder of the course, we will screen and discuss the film Blade Runner. In addition to readings and discussions, students will give a final presentation and write an essay derived from the presentation. 事前に授業担当教員の許可を得た者については、遠隔での参加を認める場合がある。Blackboard に配信する課題を提出することで代替措置とする。そのほか詳しいことは状況に応じて別途指示する。 |
