HUM 310-02 Key Concepts: Literary Utopias (3)
Prerequisite: Completion of lower division Humanities requirements.
For the past 2500 years, human beings have discussed, debated, striven for and written about the "perfect" place, the model of happiness where people lead lives of idealism and comradeship. From Plato to Orwell, fictional utopias have run the gamut from selfless expressions of goodwill to selfish indulgence that only seemed to add to human suffering.
The course will explore this notion of utopia and its dysfunctional opposite, the dystopia, through the reading of five texts: three older, classic texts: Plato's Republic, More's Utopia and Bacon's New Atlantis, as well as newer, more science-fiction oriented texts: Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984. We will explore several themes that run through all these works such as utopian geography, society, education, science, religion and government. Research papers and presentations/discussions will be employed by students to demonstrate their awareness of the specific features of each text.
