Framing as a metacommunicative device establishes the narrative of a given story and mobilizes emotional support. Within the framework of monster theory, horror movies are seen as a way of framing common fears about moral decay, concerns about the future, anxiety about outgroup members, and spiritual unknowns. In the classroom, we explore the monstrous body as a stand-in for the demonized (often literally) outgroup. Through tracing some of the historic roots of monsters, students are better able to see monsters as a recurring framing device for social fears. Utilizing the concepts of frame alignment (aligning individuals’ frames with larger social movement frames) and frame analysis (investigating the processes and mechanisms people utilize to make sense of situations), exploration of various subgenres of horror (including psychological horror, body horror, killers, monsters, zombies, and the paranormal) flesh out how frames are amplified, bridged, transformed, and extended.
框架作为一种元交际手段,建立了给定故事的叙述并调动了情感支持。在怪物理论的框架内,恐怖电影被视为一种表达对道德败坏、对未来的担忧、对群体外成员的焦虑和精神未知的普遍恐惧的方式。在课堂上,我们探索怪物身体作为被妖魔化(通常是字面上的)外群体的替身。通过追溯怪物的历史根源,学生们能够更好地将怪物视为社会恐惧的反复出现的框架装置。利用框架对齐(将个人的框架与更大的社会运动框架对齐)和框架分析(调查人们用来理解情境的过程和机制)的概念,探索各种恐怖亚类型(包括心理恐怖、身体恐怖、杀手、怪物、僵尸和超自然现象),充实框架是如何被放大、连接、转换和扩展的。

Sociologists are uniquely positioned to use science fiction literature in the classroom. Despite students reading less, the science fiction novel The Handmaid’s Tale is more popular than ever. I obtained the data for this study through content analysis of 108 student journal entries in a sociology of gender course at a small liberal arts college. Journal entries were analyzed for identification and application of class concepts in addition to an overall rating of The Handmaid’s Tale. Students successfully identified and connected 58 distinct class concepts to the novel. The most common concepts that students identified were gender stereotype, doing gender, and patriarchy. In addition, students enjoyed the novel and rated it highly. The average rating was 4.2 stars out of 5. Results from this study suggest that science fiction remains relevant and useful in the contemporary sociology classroom.
社会学家在课堂上使用科幻文学是独一无二的。尽管学生们阅读量减少,但科幻小说《使女的故事》比以往任何时候都更受欢迎。我通过对一所小型文科学院性别社会学课程中108篇学生期刊条目的内容分析,获得了这项研究的数据。除了对《使女的故事》进行总体评分外,还对日记条目进行了分类概念的识别和应用分析。学生们成功地将58个不同的课堂概念与小说联系起来。学生们发现的最常见的概念是性别刻板印象、行为性别和父权制。此外,学生们喜欢这部小说,并给予了很高的评价。平均评分为4.2颗星(满分5颗星)。这项研究的结果表明,科幻小说在当代社会学课堂上仍然具有相关性和实用性。

What’s Blood Got to Do with It? A Culture of Cinema Horrors at the Precipice of an Abyss 这跟血有什么关系?深渊边缘的恐怖电影文化

At a cultural moment in which the horrifying is central, what are the pedagogical options available by which to teach and think with our students? Horror movies, like all media, are mythmakers; media and culture reflect and reproduce but also create or consolidate. Teaching horror leads to new conversations, makes the familiar strange, and gives students new language and tools through which to assess and rewrite cultural and social narratives. This conversation bridges sociology, gender studies, and media studies to highlight the importance and usefulness of film analysis and theoretical texts that fall outside of sociology in developing robust sociological and interdisciplinary dialogue. We review the films, texts, themes, and approaches that we have used to get students to read difficult theory, think collaboratively and critically, and write in ways that push their voices and ideas beyond that with which they are accustomed and comfortable.
在一个以恐怖为中心的文化时刻,我们有哪些教学选择可以让我们与学生一起进行教学和思考?恐怖电影和所有媒体一样,都是神话制造者;媒体和文化反映和复制,但也创造或巩固。教授恐怖导致新的对话,使熟悉的事物变得陌生,并为学生提供新的语言和工具,通过这些语言和工具来评估和重写文化和社会叙事。这一对话连接了社会学、性别研究和媒体研究,强调了电影分析和社会学之外的理论文本在发展强大的社会学和跨学科对话中的重要性和有用性。我们回顾了我们用来让学生阅读艰深的理论,协作性和批判性思考,以及以超越他们习惯和舒适的方式推动他们的声音和想法的电影,文本,主题和方法。

Sci-fi has the power to open dialogue because its alternate world-building enables students to feel far enough from reality to discuss social problems unreservedly. In this essay, I review an assignment I developed using Black Mirror and Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams that present episodes in which militarized policing, segregation, and genocide occur with the consent and complicity of populations convinced that these measures enable their safety. Paralleling U.S. carceralism, the fictional communities have been inundated with media and political advertising for greater segregation but have themselves never experienced the criminalized violence that justifies widespread state harms. Through a generative dialogue engaging the media, a discussion question, and the concept of state terrorism, students move to observe their positionality and critically assess state violence. Therefore, I recommend this teaching tool for any critical instructors—especially minoritized professors teaching primarily White classrooms—to inspire a stimulating dialogue in service of connection-making and peacemaking in the classroom.
科幻之所以有开启对话的力量,是因为它的另类世界建构让学生们能够感受到与现实的距离,毫无保留地讨论社会问题。在这篇文章中,我回顾了我使用《黑镜》和菲利普·K·迪克的《电梦》完成的一项任务,在这些任务中,军事化的治安、种族隔离和种族灭绝发生时,人们相信这些措施能够确保他们的安全。与美国的死刑类似,虚构的社区被媒体和政治广告淹没,要求加强种族隔离,但他们自己从未经历过为广泛的国家伤害辩护的犯罪暴力。通过与媒体的互动对话、讨论问题和国家恐怖主义的概念,学生们开始观察自己的立场,并批判性地评估国家暴力。因此,我向任何批判性教师推荐这种教学工具,尤其是主要在白人课堂上教学的少数族裔教授,以激发激发对话,为课堂上建立联系和建立和平服务。

This article is a reflective analysis of an assignment in which undergraduate students developed dystopian, postapocalyptic, fantasy, and fictional short story parables to illustrate their understanding of sociological theory. In a social theory course, students were assigned a final paper in which they designed a short story that integrated sociological theory, including classical and contemporary concepts, which were applied to these fictional worlds. The assignment encouraged students to develop both macro- and micro-level creative social theory analysis using a fictional society that often touches on the themes of futurism, science fiction, or postapocalyptic settings. These scenarios allowed students to engage in world-building linked to systems of oppression that were analyzed through various perspectives, including Marxist theories, critical race theory, and feminist theories. The assignment is a creative way for students to apply their sociological imagination with the world-building process for an in-depth understanding of sociological theory.
本文对一项作业进行了反思性分析,在该作业中,大学生发展了反乌托邦、后启示录、幻想和虚构的短篇小说寓言,以说明他们对社会学理论的理解。在一门社会理论课程中,学生们被分配了一篇期末论文,他们在论文中设计了一个短篇小说,融合了社会学理论,包括古典和当代概念,并将其应用于这些虚构的世界。该作业鼓励学生利用一个经常涉及未来主义、科幻小说或后世界末日背景的虚构社会,发展宏观和微观层面的创造性社会理论分析。这些场景使学生能够参与与压迫制度相关的世界建构,这些压迫制度通过各种视角进行分析,包括马克思主义理论、批判性种族理论和女权主义理论。该作业是学生将社会学想象与世界建构过程相结合,深入理解社会学理论的一种创造性方式。

Sociology instructors have long used nontraditional texts such as literary fiction to demonstrate core course concepts, increase student engagement, and develop students’ critical thinking in the classroom. In this article, I explore how written assignments structured around identifying core course concepts in a dystopian novel that connects to student interests can help develop higher-level and critical sociological thinking skills. Using data from an upper-level Sociology of Media course at a large, Midwestern university, I detail a final paper assignment centered around M. T. Anderson’s dystopian satire novel Feed. I present qualitative and quantitative findings that demonstrate students’ successful use of higher-level and critical sociological thinking to identify, analyze, and support original arguments regarding core course concepts within the dystopian world and our own.
长期以来,社会学讲师一直使用文学小说等非传统文本来展示核心课程概念,提高学生的参与度,并在课堂上培养学生的批判性思维。在这篇文章中,我探讨了围绕确定反乌托邦小说中与学生兴趣相关的核心课程概念构建的书面作业如何帮助培养更高层次的批判性社会学思维技能。利用中西部一所大型大学的媒体社会学高级课程的数据,我详细介绍了一篇以M·T·安德森的反乌托邦讽刺小说《Feed》为中心的期末论文作业。我提出的定性和定量研究结果表明,学生们成功地运用了更高层次和批判性的社会学思维来识别、分析和支持反乌托邦世界和我们自己的世界中关于核心课程概念的原始论点。

Immersion in Alien Worlds: Teaching Ethnographic Sensibilities through Dystopian and Science Fiction 沉浸在外星世界:通过反乌托邦和科幻小说教授民族志感性

The Alien Worlds project teaches ethnographic skills using the societies of dystopian, postapocalyptic, and science fiction texts as imagined field sites and targets for analysis. These exercises and assignments, which illustrate principles of qualitative fieldwork, were developed when COVID-19 precautions made it impossible to assign tasks that involved in-person social interaction. Preliminary findings from use in 2020–2021 Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (n = 140) and Science Fiction and Society (n = 10) classes suggest that science fiction may have an ongoing place in beginning and intermediate social science courses, as it provides an entertaining, low-stakes way for students to practice observation and analysis. The original project is designed to span at least six weeks or the course of a semester, but variations for shorter and stand-alone assignments are provided in addition to ways that it can be adapted to suit the needs of different audiences. Though it will not replace all in-person field experience for advanced sociology and anthropology students, it provides a bridge between classroom content and hands-on interaction that encourages a growth mindset in learning.

Aliens and Strangers: Exploring the “Other” in a Team-Taught Science Fiction Course 外星人和陌生人:在团队教学的科幻课程中探索“他者”

While prior research has illustrated the strengths of collaborative teaching between sociology and English, less has examined the potential of cross-listed courses, instead largely focusing on how to bring writing instruction into the sociology classroom. Similarly, other work has explored the possible uses of literary examples within sociology lessons. We argue that a fully collaborative teaching model capitalizing on strengths from both sociology and English studies can be beneficial not only for students but also coteachers. Drawing from autoethnographic approaches, we reflect on our experience teaching a cross-listed sociology and English course in science fiction literature as well as the sociopolitical landscape that motivated our pedagogical decisions. We discuss our rationale for choosing the theme of the “alien” as “other” and the importance of low-stakes writing assignments.

虽然之前的研究已经说明了社会学和英语合作教学的优势,但很少有人研究交叉列出课程的潜力,而是主要关注如何将写作教学引入社会学课堂。同样,其他工作也探讨了文学实例在社会学课程中的可能用途。我们认为,充分利用社会学和英语研究的优势的合作教学模式不仅对学生有益,对合作者也有益。借鉴自民族志方法,我们反思了我们在科幻文学中教授交叉列出的社会学和英语课程的经验,以及促使我们做出教学决定的社会政治景观。我们讨论了选择“外星人”作为“其他人”主题的理由,以及低风险写作任务的重要性。我们为将科幻小说融入社会学课程提供实用的想法,并为任何想在任何主题上交叉列出课程的人提供见解。

Similarly, other work has explored the possible uses of literary examples within sociology lessons. We argue that a fully collaborative teaching model capitalizing on strengths from both sociology and English studies can be beneficial not only for students but also coteachers. Drawing from autoethnographic approaches, we reflect on our experience teaching a cross-listed sociology and English course in science fiction literature as well as the sociopolitical landscape that motivated our pedagogical decisions.

This article provides tips on how popular media, specifically that of science fiction and horror, can be utilized in the classroom to elucidate complex concepts concerning race and ethnic relations. Drawing from the television series Lovecraft Country, I highlight how concepts found in the work of authors such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Frantz Fanon are made more interesting and digestible for students at the undergraduate level when presented in films that rely heavily on science fiction and imagination. Reflections are included from students who watched this series in class during weeks where Du Bois and Fanon were required reading, demonstrating the impact the show had on their understanding of the two thinkers specifically and the study of race and ethnicity generally.
这篇文章提供了一些技巧,说明如何在课堂上利用流行媒体,特别是科幻和恐怖媒体,来阐明有关种族和民族关系的复杂概念。根据电视连续剧《Lovecraft Country》,我强调了W·E·B·杜波依斯(W.E.B.Du Bois)和弗兰茨·法农(Frantz Fanon。在杜波依斯和法农被要求阅读的几周里,学生们在课堂上观看了这一系列节目,他们对此进行了反思,展示了该节目对他们理解这两位思想家以及对种族和民族研究的影响。
