ENGL 5650 - 001 Adv Sem Lit Study
Time travel narratives are one of the oldest and most popular subgenres within science fiction, dating back to the nineteenth century. This seminar will examine key works within this subgenre and chart its development over the prevailing centuries. As a science fictional conceit, time travel has been used to explore questions of historical contingency and how they have shaped our lives in the present, as a means of estranging us from contemporary societal trends and where they might take us, or simply what it would be like to live in another time period. This course will discuss all of the above. In addition, it will talk about how the tropes of the genre have evolved over time: From the simple timeslip scenarios of early time travel narratives to the more involved conceits such as time machines, alternate timelines, dystopian futures, temporal paradoxes, and questions of free will vs determinism which define the genre today. We will also discuss what it means to contemplate our relationship to the passage of time and history from different standpoints in terms of race, gender, and sexuality. And we will consider how such scenarios continue to evolve today. Authors and filmmakers to be discussed include: Washington Irving, H.G. Wells, Octavia Butler, Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Tim Powers, William Gibson, Connie Willis, James Tiptree Jr, Ted Chiang, Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron, and Christopher Nolan.
