In this course
Stanley G. Weinbaum was an early science fiction writer known for creating grotesque, amorphous creatures that challenged conventional monster design—most famously the protoplasmic "doughpot" featured in his fiction. The course readings invoke Weinbaum's creature-design work to trace how imaginative speculations about life-forms without fixed morphology prefigure contemporary debates about artificial life, embodiment, and the boundaries between organism and environment. His influence persists in tabletop gaming (D&D monster manuals) and contemporary fictional worldbuilding, where the formally undefined, shape-shifting creature becomes a template for thinking about non-humanoid intelligence and agency.
