AUENG 269 - The End of the World: Contemporary Apocalyptic Literature

★ 3 (fi 6) (either term, 3-0-0) A study of the contemporary speculative creative writers who consider the end of the world as we know it and the relationship of this literature to a growing body of scientific evidence that warns of global collapse if current damaging human practices are not abated. Consideration will be given to these works as cautionary tales, thought experiments, and socio-political satire. Prerequisites: Two of AUENG 102, 103, or 104. Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of AUENG 269, 369, AUENV 269, 369.
