	50266	Lecture-Discussion	GJB	11:00AM -12:15PM	TR	David Kinley Hall	Byrd, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: TOPIC: American Indians, Popular Culture, and Genre Fiction Representations of American Indians have played a significant role in the formation of popular culture and popular genres. From the imagination of Stephen King that grounds horror within "Indian burial grounds" to X-Men comic books, references to American Indian history and characters continue to function as a cultural touchstone within U.S. popular texts. This course examines the intersections between literary and cultural representations of American Indians and the ways in which American Indian authors have reimagined some of the core genres of popular fiction-ranging from historical romance, science fiction/fantasy, horror, and mystery-to not only transform those representations, but challenge the expectations that American Indian literature is a sub-genre within American literature. Texts may include Daniel Heath Justice's Kynship, Cynthia Leitich Smith's Tantalize, Drew Hayden Taylor's The Night Wanderer and Stephen Graham Jones' Demon Theory.
