Obsah předmětu
|
The end of the world has been a persistent topic in multiple genres throughout history, ranging from religious prophecies and political propaganda to dystopian literature, adventure stories and fantasy fiction and, sadly, also to scientific research and visions of ecological catastrophe. In the seminar we will discuss various literary works from the 20th and 21st century. Among the novels we will read, there may be John Wyndham?s The Day of the Triffids, John Brunner?s The Sheep Look Up, Kurt Vonnegut?s Galapagos, and Emily St. John Mandel?s Station Eleven. I am open to suggestions ? within limits, e.g. there will be no Zombie apocalypses in this seminar. It is quite possible that we will also watch one or two movies.
