CNX 184 - Death, Horror & Humanity
Description
Horror films, extreme heavy metal and fascination with dystopian sci-fi has fostered a sizeable space in global entertainment over the past few decades. While many view these artistic expressions as mere escapism and fantasy, these vessels of entertainment are often created to provoke the public into thinking about larger overarching issues that affect society. This includes problems and conflicts surrounding race, political systems, gender and consumption practices. This course examines the deeper meanings behind many classic and modern horror films as well extreme metal music and sci-fi. Through close examination of film, music and literature we will study why horror and extreme music are often used as appropriate vehicles for commentary and the ignition of discourse surrounding challenges of the human condition.
