	HE0100	SCIENCE FICTION CINEMA	Karl Brown
	Ever since the invention of cinema, filmmakers have used movies to depict possible futures and alternate realities. Science fiction films are exceptionally useful as historical artifacts, as they depict the limits of the imaginable in any given era even as they reveal contemporaneous social, political, economic, gender, technological, and cultural norms. In this course we will investigate science fiction cinema from its earliest stages into the present.
