"Race, Robots, and the Inhuman" addresses a key concern of our digital age, the human/machine analytic, through the lens of race, gender, and sexuality. We will investigate discourses of mechanization and racialization, focusing on how technology and racialization intertwine. Specifically, our course examines the representational processes of making and unmaking human, machine, and animal demarcations within the context of empire. Together, we will examine the human/machine analytic, a narrative that is transnational and historical in genealogy. Additionally, our syllabus includes creative works by writers and artists of color who remap the boundaries of the human, robot, and the inhuman.
