Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 3B · IGETC Area 3B · CSU GE Area C2DescriptionCal-GETC Area 3B (Humanities) Science fiction raises the central existential question of what it means to be human in an evolving and incomprehensible world and cosmos. Works in this genre are compelling critiques of the status quo that inspire us to work towards a more humane world. The course will examine Post World War II works in short story, novel, poetry, drama, and film from around the world and how these tales provide an astonishing diversity of thought to the enduring themes of social justice, environmentalism, gender identity, and dreams and nightmares of utopia.
