ENGL 317 - Postapocalyptic Pacific RimFC ARHU CD WADV 4 credits This course explores the Pacific Rim as a geographical entity created out of practices of empire, nationalism, and globalization. Many writers, filmmakers, and artists have charted this space through the genre of the postapocalyptic, imagining the futures of world history as carnage, wreckage, and global devastation. What is at stake in this genre, and in particular its rendering of sites along the Pacific Rim? The course will examine metafictions, speculative fictions, and magical realisms that together represent what is otherwise an unmarked territory.
