This advanced interdisciplinary course explores the concept of transformation in art, literature, and film, beginning with a study of Ovid's classical text, Metamorphosis and expanding to include modernist (Kafka) and contemporary versions of monstrosity, hybridity, and the grotesque. This course will be organized around independent student projects, but students should be prepared to engage philosophical, literary and theoretical texts in weekly seminars.
