Apocalyptic Comedy FSEM 10201.03 Freshman Seminar Prof. Emily Waples Spring 2017 12-week Email: [email protected] TR 1.45-3.45 Office: Mahan House Bates 212 Office Hours: by appointment Writing Asst.: Hailey Toporcer Email: [email protected] APOCALYPTIC COMEDY It’s the end of the world as we know it—and it’s hilarious. Throughout human history, we have approached the threat of Armageddon with fear and fascination; sometimes, we have even found it funny. In this course, we will explore the various ways in which the apocalypse has provided fodder for comedy, examining how literary techniques such as satire, farce, and parody have been employed to expose and scrutinize deep-seated fears of annihilation. In particular, through close readings and critical analyses of fiction, film, and popular culture, we will embark on a study of the genres of absurdism and black humor, considering how comedy can be used to provide trenchant social and political commentary on terrors such as nuclear war, global warming, and epidemic disease. Analyzing works such as Samuel Beckett’s one-act play Endgame (1957), Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Cat’s Cradle (1963), and Stanley Kubrick’s masterful satire Dr. Strangelove (1964)—as well as more recent apocalyptic comedies such as Zombieland (2009), This is the End (2013), and The World’s End (2013)— we will investigate the ways in which manifold forms of apocalyptic peril (supernatural, technological, environmental, and biomedical) have appalled us and enthralled us. Ultimately, this course invites us to consider how comedy can be seen, in the words of literary theorist Kenneth Burke, as “equipment for living”: how, it asks, does humor make us human? 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Contents Through the content of this Freshman Seminar, you will be challenged to develop your: Learning Objectives ..................... 2 Texts & Screenings ...................... 2 . ability to write (writing to learn) . ability to communicate orally (participating in Requirements & Grade discussion and presenting on ideas to provoke Distribution .................................... 3 understanding) Class Discussion ........................... 4 . ability to think critically Course Policies ........................... 4-5 . ability to read and interpret important material . ability to gather, evaluate, and properly use research Hiram Policies ............................ 6-7 . ability to recognize and analyze ethical issues Plagiarism & Citation .................. 8 . ability to take advantage of the residential setting of Assignments .............................. 9-11 their education—to learn from others and to understand that knowing is social Weekly Writing ............................ 9 Essay #1: ...................................... 9 COURSE TEXTS Essay #2 ....................................... 9 Samuel Beckett, Endgame (1957) Essay #3 ..................................... 10 Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle (1963) Essay #4 ............................... 10-11 Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake (2003) Final Reflection .......................... 11 Additional readings will be posted on Moodle, and are Grading Scale ................................ 11 included as hyperlinks in this syllabus.

Engage with your classmates and me respectfully. Be aware of your language use and how it might be interpreted. Use “I” language; be mindful of speaking for others’ experiences. Avoid overgeneralizations. Respond to ideas, not the person saying them. Be descriptive with feedback rather than evaluative. Acknowledge how your own background, identity, positions, and experiences impact your comments. If a topic makes you uncomfortable, use your judgment to engage in a way that best serves you (eg. responding respectfully, writing your thoughts, speaking to me privately). Be aware of your level of participation. I encourage a “step up/step back” policy: if you tend to speak a lot in class, I ask that you challenge yourself to allow others to speak first; if you tend to be quieter during class discussions, I ask that you challenge yourself to speak more. Listen deeply and generously; commit to learning from others’ perspectives. COURSE POLICIES Attendance Your regular attendance is essential to the success of this discussion-based course. I realize that sometimes unforeseen circumstances may arise; accordingly, you are entitled to 1 unexcused absence without penalty. Every absence thereafter will result a 5 point deduction from your final grade. If you miss a class, you are encouraged come to my office hours as soon as possible to discuss the day’s material. Serious illnesses, family emergencies, participation in college-sponsored athletics and special events, and religious observances will be considered excused absences. If a class session or due date conflicts with your religious holidays, please notify me so we can make alternative arrangements. In most cases, I will ask you to turn in your assignment ahead of your scheduled absence. Preparation & Participation Preparation for class discussion includes not only having completed the assigned readings for the days they will be discussed, but having annotated your texts (underlining, margin comments), taken notes, and formulated questions for discussion. Participation will be assessed by your engagement and consideration during class discussions (whether with the full class, small groups, or in pairs) and in-class writing exercises. Having productive class discussion entails creating a balance between speaking and listening when others speak. You demonstrate engaged participation not only by offering your own ideas, but by respectfully responding to the ideas of others. Meeting with me outside of class to discuss course material will also be counted as participation. 4 Electronics I encourage the use of print copies of course material unless electronic devices are specifically required for your disability accommodations. If you do reference readings or take notes on a laptop or tablet, you are expected to use a program (eg Adobe, Goodreader) that allows you to highlight and annotate the text. Please be mindful of the ways in which your devices may affect yours and others’ learning, and make every effort to minimize distractions (internet, email, sounds, etc.) If I see you using your devices for a purpose other than taking notes or accessing course material, I will deduct 5 points from your final grade for each instance. Please turn off or silence your cell phone and put it away for the duration of class. Smartphones are unacceptable as PDF readers. If I see you using your phone, I will deduct 5 points from your final grade for each instance. Communication & Syllabus Your success in this course is important to me. You are welcomed and encouraged to come to my office hours to discuss your work. If you cannot make my regular office hours, I am happy to arrange a meeting at a mutually convenient time. I typically check my Hiram email between 8 AM and 5 PM, and will make every effort to respond as soon as possible. The syllabus is an important document that outlines our responsibilities to one another. If you have read this syllabus after our first class as instructed, please email me a picture of a cat by the beginning of class on Tuesday, Jan. 12 and you will receive 2 extra credit points. Due Dates and Late Work Please take note of the due dates and times outlined on the syllabus. Final drafts of formal writing assignments will be accepted and graded on a rolling basis, and can be uploaded to Moodle at any time during the week they are due. Sundays at 5 PM will be considered the absolute deadline; work submitted after this time will be marked down 1/3 of a letter grade for every 24-hour period it is late. Work that is not turned in within 5 days of the final deadline will receive a 0. I am willing to grant extensions on assignments in extraordinary circumstances, as long as you make arrangements with me at least 24 hours in advance of the final deadline. Writing Assistant Hailey will attend every class and will work with you individually on your drafts/outlines for each assignment. She will sometimes teach or lead discussion. During in-class groupwork and workshops, she and I will circulate to assess your progress and answer questions. You are required to meet with Hailey at least once for in-person feedback on your draft. Please email

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Having picked this book off the shelf, you’re probably asking yourself, “How could there be a neuroscience of zombies?” While yes, zombies do have brains (you have to destroy their brains in order “kill” them, or so the myth goes), we would be hard pressed to make a case that “zombie neuroscience” qualifies as its own field of study. Neuroscience— the study of the brain, particularly its relationship to behavior and cognition—already has its fair share of perhaps silly and fantastical “specialty” subfields; why add to the list? Well, did you know that we neuroscientists have the answer to every thing? Regular readers of the Opinion page of the New York Times or other popular media outlets will already know that neuroscience can explain why you are in love with your iPhone, why lying to your kids about Santa is a neurologically sound form of parenting, and why inducing a coma leads to proof of heaven. You see, by filtering all of human existence through our very muddy lens we can answer all of life’s questions. By our estimates, an fMRI study explaining the meaning of life should be coming out by sometime early 2015 (hint: it involves 42 brain regions). We hate to break it to our colleagues in the fields of philosophy, religion, and physics, but thanks to a few fancy brain imaging machines and a couple of decades of pretty hard think- ing about stuff, we neuroscientists now can understand every- thing, so they’ll probably need to seek employment elsewhere. If neuroscience is the panacea and explanation for everything else, why not the zombie apocalypse? There’s a market for that, right?

Romero, revealing, notably, how they reflect specific social concerns. In order to determine what makes the zombie movie and the figure of the zombie so productive of political readings, this article examines, first, the classic zombie movies influenced by voodoo lore, then Romero’s initial living dead trilogy (1968-1985), and finally some of the most successful films released in the 2000s.

  • Laughing Off a Zombie Apocalypse: the Value of Comedic and Satirical Narratives1
    International Studies Perspectives (2017) 18, 211–224 Laughing off a Zombie Apocalypse: The Value of Comedic and Satirical Narratives1 RODGER A. PAYNE University of Louisville In recent years, many international relations scholars have been discussing films, books, and television programs featuring zombies, largely because such narratives are thought to provide a compelling metaphor for thinking about a diverse array of contemporary threats. These range from relatively traditional threats posed by violent terrorists to nontraditional threats from epidemics or mass migration. However, because zombie narratives are gen- erally apocalyptic, employing them can provide a misleading and dangerous understanding of international security. By contrast, satirical and comedic zombie stories provide interesting alternative narratives that coincide with the emancipatory objectives of critical security studies. Satirical narratives fo- cusing on elites characteristically critique these powerful figures, often re- vealing them to be self-centered buffoons. Indeed, satire and black comedy can be quite subversive, reflecting critical and potentially transformative notions—about threats andotherdimensionsofsecurity politics. Comedies typically center upon ordinary people, emphasize their regular lives, and end happily—aligning with the aspirations of the human security agenda. Keywords: narrative, film, zombies, critical theory, human security In recent years, international relations (IR) scholars have revealed a strong and growing interest in popular books, films, and television programs. Many are study- ing and writing seriously about a diverse oeuvre of words and images, though with a notable tilt toward pop culture works of fantasy and science fiction. Some of the most prominent publications have focused on the Harry Potter series (Nexon and Neumann 2006), The Lord of the Rings trilogy (Ruane and James 2012), Star Trek (Weldes 1999), Battlestar Galactica (Buzan 2010), and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Rowley and Weldes 2012).

Och 2006 iii “The World Goes One Way and We Go Another”: Movement, Migration and Myths of Irish Cinema Dana C. Och, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2006 The dissertation considers Irish films through the valence of movement and migration to conceptualize a cinema that can account for how films function locally and transnationally. I consider various forms of migration in films produced in Ireland to interrogate how identity and the nation are presented. Considering forms of migration opens a different approach to the films that enables questioning of the myths of the nation-state within globalized capital and culture. In Ireland, the land has given shape to the physical boundaries of imagined identity; land is understood as a material trace denoting a linear history of invasion, conquest, and ultimately independence – an evolution from colonial oppression to postcolonial identity.
