In PHY 125, students will use science _ction to explore the connection between science and the imagination, between science and creative thinking. In this course, students will continue their work, but we will explore the connections between science _ction as literature and the imagination. The physicist Amit Goswami suggests that \Science Fiction is that class of _ction which contains the currents of change in science and society. It concerns itself with the critique, extension, revision, and conspiracy of revolution, all directed against static scienti_c paradigms. Its goal is to prompt a paradigm shift to a new view that will be more responsive and true to nature." Science _ction imagines di_erent futures, impossible technologies, or unlikely encounters (with aliens, arti_cial intelligence, and so on) to invite readers to shift to that \new view" about almost any topic: gender, human existence, consequences of action or inaction. This course will read several short stories, a few novels and some critical articles to help us understand what science _ction is, how it works, and how it uses imagination di_erently than other forms of _ction. We might also, in the true spirit of science _ctional inquiry, entertain ideas about what literature is, how it works in the world, and how it is created. This course ful_lls the writing requirement and so includes an emphasis on critical reading, writing and revision. Some attention paid to writing style as well. Students will write and revise several papers and complete a research project which includes a short creative piece. Not open to students who have previously completed ENG 111.
