6. Exotic Settings, and non-human Homo-sapiens. - Exploring Humanity Through Literature
Shakespeare has remarked that "A man may smile and smile and yet be a villain". No man is perfect, but unfortunately, we all tend to be judgemental (including us) and classify people as monsters, devils, angels, and divine beings. So is there something unique about this kind of peripheral judgement, or is it to do something with our unconscious mind? When we talk of 'Non-Humans", we think about a robot, animal or alien this leads us to become suspicious of any stranger we meet. Yes, Indeed sometimes people have weird ocult experiences and these tales are reflected in literature. Still, literature filled with plots, stories, characters and themes usually challenges you to emphasise these so-called 'Non-humans' and understand their failings. So this workshop explores the so-called monstrous villains, aliens and ghosts who might have a heart of gold, for they might be more wronged than wrong. On the other hand, a respectable and kind person may ultimately be an evil-minded human. Hence, this session helps you gain insight into interpreting literary works incoherent, organised, and focused forms and critically analyse characters leveraging on video clips or activities.
