    1.00 Credits
    Gustavus Adolphus College

    Through a primarily historical approach to the development of science fiction and fantasy, we read, converse about, and write about a variety of texts contributing to this branch of the literature of ideas. The content of science fiction texts fascinates and educates through revealing technical notions-many of which have become realities-and discourse which challenges readers to expand their cultural, social, and political notions as well as their understanding of language itself. Intrinsically interdisciplinary, science fiction demands and teaches the fundamental liberal arts of understanding and practicing the eclectic and synthesizing world-view. LARS, offered annually.
