In this course
The excerpts provided are corrupted or encoded and do not clearly establish Hodgson's relevance to the course. Based on fragmentary references to Weinbaum's creatures and protoplasmic matter, Hodgson appears to be invoked in discussions of weird fiction's speculative biology—the literary precedent for imagining alien or artificial life forms that challenge mechanistic understandings of organisms. He likely matters to "Pandaemonium Architecture" as a genealogical figure in how science fiction and speculative horror have narrativized the boundaries between living and non-living, organic and constructed systems, anticipating contemporary anxieties about artificial life and cybernetic entities.
