'With great power, comes great responsibility.' This driving philosophy constantly present in the mind of Spiderman provides a lesson for how we all might live our lives, conscious of how our actions affect those around us. This course makes similar rhetorical connections between the American superhero in its various incarnations (comic book, television, film) and a number of important ideas that explore issues of Values, Identity, Diversity and Equality in contemporary society. Our popular culture heroes such as superheroes can tell us a great deal about what we as a society value, and through the fantastical trope of the superhero, we can seek to better understand ourselves and others. In this course, we will do so both by reading and studying about specific superheroes and how they reflect distinct values (the X-men as marginalized and oppressed minorities, Wonder Woman and gender identity, Spiderman and guilt, Batman and revenge, Superman and the immigrant identity, Black Panther and racial hatred, among others). These explorations will be firmly grounded in critical theory (gender, race, identity, psychoanalytic) and will involve deep readings of critical texts and writings on those texts. This will culminate with a larger analytical essay focusing on Identity, Diversity and Equity issues within a Superhero text. Students in the course will also utilize the superhero and the various tropes of the genre in general (superpowers, mutation, sidekicks, secret identities, supervillains, justice) to construct a reflection of each individual's own identity and worldview.
