Neurofiction

3 credits · Graduate

This course will explore how neurofiction either reinforces or challenges the ideology of “brainhood” and “neuronormativity” (i.e., the norms of neurotypicality and neuroableism) by examining how it represents cognitive processes like thinking, remembering, learning, reasoning, etc. It will also address the broader significance of these representations by positioning them within their social, historical, and political context.
