Description: Recent advances in sciences and humanities show that the line between the human and non-human has become blurred. This interdisciplinary course will ready fictional, scientific, and philosophical texts to challenge traditional representations of the human by finding the human already enmeshed in or produced through relationships with technology, the animal, and the environment.
