Transpacific Literary Futures (ASNAMST 289)

3–5 credits · Graduate

This course explores the booming archives of East Asian and Asian American speculative fictions. How does the future look different from disparate angles in the Pacific region? What speculative worlds are being fashioned or predicted in each, and why? We will examine the making of science fiction texts and adaptations as the space between Asia and Asian America narrows through increasingly transpacific cultural production.
