HONR 31100 - Replicants

Credit Hours: 3.00.  From ancient mythology to Blade Runner 2049, the creation of artificial bodies has captured the human imagination. This course asks: how do the materials we use to re-create the human body affect the way that we construct our humanity? We will examine the different materials people have used to replicate the body throughout history. The course is organized thematically by materials such as wood, wax, silicone, and digital media. This course emphasizes hands-on learning; we will cast wax masks, sculpt clay figurines, and create automata, among other experiential activities. The types of replicants we will study in this course range from voodoo dolls to Real Dolls, death masks to Deep Fakes, and statues to cyborgs. For the final project, you will choose a case study of a replicant to write about in an exploratory paper.Credits: 3
