This seminar seeks to trace the history of horror fiction: from ancient monsters to twenty-first century transmedial spectres, we will analyse and theorise the unbroken appeal of uncanny characters, haunted settings, and terrifying plot lines. Often discarded as lowbrow popular entertainment, horror fiction actually negotiates a vast array of societal concerns such as racism, colonialism, as well as class and gender relations, making it a rich field for academic research. In this class we will investigate central fictional and theoretical texts to help us understand central motifs, themes, and concerns of the multifaceted genre that is horror fiction.
The reading list will be announced shortly. Materials will be made available via Lernraum.
