| 中文简介: |
从历史上看，世纪之交的时代是人们比平时更倾向于审视现在和推测未来的时代。现在，不仅是一个世纪的转折，而且是一个千年的转折刚刚过去，这种审查和猜测不可避免地会加强。在二十一世纪和今后的岁月里，我们将面临怎样的未来?对未来的展望如何反映和回应我们现在生活的世界?在这门课程中，我们将阅读和撰写一些作家和电影制作人如何回应当下，作为一种想象和警告未来可能世界的方式。遵循我们的阅读和讨论,我们将仔细检查自己的现在和构建自己的未来的愿景,通过密切阅读的文本以及当代的某些方面culture—城市和环境危机,经济帝国主义、性和生殖政治,生物技术的伦理,种族和性别问题,浪漫的技术,机器人技术和cyborg文化、媒体饱和,语言和表征，以及它们所提出的关于在新千年的开端成为人的意义的持久的问题。

| 课程简介: |
Turn-of-the-century eras have historically been times when people are more than usually inclined to scrutinize the present and speculate about the future. Now, the turn not just of a century but of a millennium having recently passed, such scrutiny and speculations inevitably intensify. What will the future that awaits us in this twenty-first century and beyond be like? And how do visions of that future reflect and respond to the world we live in now? In this course we will read and write about how some writers and filmmakers have responded to the present as a way of imagining—and warning about—possible worlds to come. Guided by our reading and discussion, we will scrutinize our own present and construct our own visions of the future through close readings of the texts as well as of some aspects of contemporary culture—urban and environmental crises, economic imperialism, sexual and reproductive politics, the ethics of biotechnologies, issues of race and gender, the romance of technology, robotics and cyborg cultures, media saturation, language and representation—and the persistent questions they pose about what it means to be human at this start of a new millennium.
