Science & Technology in Film

HON 398 – Dr. Cigdem Usekes

Modes of Inquiry: Textual Analysis, Scientific and Mathematical Analysis, Historical, Social and Cultural Analysis

Course Description:

This interdisciplinary course focuses on films that explore our complex relationship with science and technology. We will investigate how science fiction films have represented science and technology, whether these representations have accurately predicted future technology and its potential pitfalls, or whether they have merely produced unwarranted cultural angst about science and technology.
