Discuss on monsters, both fictional and nonfictional, and discuss what it means for something or someone to be a “monster.” Below is a short one-minute video of John Landis giving his brief take on “monsters.”
Take a moment to watch this as the course begins, and as your understanding of “monsters” evolves, periodically return here to add comments and reply to one another’s comments about what you think “monsters” are, why we create them, and what they mean about us. This is an on-going discussion throughout the semester, and your participation here will help us develop a shared understanding of “monsters.”
