ANTH 3391 - Vampires And Kinship

Institution:

Fordham University

Subject:

Description:

Vampire stories have been around for at least a century, during which time they have been used transculturally to express different ideas about life and death, mortality and divinity. In recent decades, there seems to have been a new resurgence of vampire stories both in film and literature, i.e., Blade, Interview with the Vampire, Cronos, The Historian, etc. The course will explore these modern blood narratives as they express contrasting ideas about how kinship, community, and ultimately modern ideas about the global self are being articulated and reworked. 4.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Sociology and Anthropology Department
