A survey of texts that deal with fantastic, imaginary, or artificially constructed creatures, investigating how such beings help us think about what it means to be human. We will read texts by writers of myth, fantasy and science fiction that introduce us to humanoid, shapeshifting, or uncanny creatures, thereby asking us to consider what makes a being human.
