ENGL 21028 - Cyborgs and A.I.: Asian American-Lit.

Course Credit: 1
Asian immigration, labor, and the formation of Asian American communities occupy a particular aesthetic in the U.S. imagination. All of the familiar tropes, from model minority, to suspicious foreigner, to the emotionless, situate the composited machinery of this imaging of the Asian American exterior. This course will examine Asian American literature, art, and film that address Asian American politics and subjectivities through speculative poetry, cyborg dramas, and machine learning, and will also take up the racialized and gendered contours of artificial intelligence.
