Description
This course will survey literatures in English from the 20th and 21st centuries. While a survey course, we will also focus on utopian and dystopian works. We will examine the post-war utopian projects of the back-to-the land moment and the LSD counterculture. We will also explore dystopian visions of institutionalized pleasure, genetic engineering, and biotechnology gone awry.
