What does being a human mean? How can animals, monsters, or cyborgs be our allies to fight inequality and discrimination? The lines between human and more-than-human entities could be less clear-cut than we think. This course draws on theories from Animal Studies and More-than-human anthropology to examine current debates about the human condition and its connections with other beings and machines. The class is centered around two main themes. The first theme is Animality, which explores how animals have impacted and influenced the concept of 'the human', and how they can help us approach anthropological and animal questions in new and exciting ways. The second theme is about Enfreakment and otherness, which looks at how traditional and non-traditional views about what counts as a human shape attitudes towards difference and disability. The course delves into topics such as cyborgs, aliens, and zombies to understand the social, economic, and cultural significance of creatures that exist in-between and what we can learn from them to challenge otherness and discrimination. Students will engage with a mix of texts, films, blogs, and art to comprehensively understand the course material. Assignments will reflect this approach.
