Titel 2 Horror EXAM

Tematisk forløb om horror genren. I begyndelsen vil der være fokus på Freuds teori om det ubevidste og menneskets angst for døden. Undervejs i forløbet arbejder vi med vampyren, det psykologiske, psykopaten, spøgelseshistorien, det uhyggelige og menneskets frygt. Eleverne skal kunne sætter teksterne i korte træk i relation til deres samtid, og eleverne skal kunne definere genren og sammenligne den moderne horror med the gothic samt finde elementer fra denne i nutidens horror. I starten af forløbet ser eleverne desuden en række trailers som bruges som udgangspunkt for en genredefinition. Herudover skal eleverne også have bygget et relevant ordforråd til horror og derfor arbejder vi med Todorovs begreber som The Fantastical, The Marvelous, The Uncanny og Stephen King’s tre typer af gys: the gross-out, the horror, the terror. Herudover vil eleverne bruge begreber som ’the other’ og søge at definere typen af ’the other’ i teksterne.

Skriftlighed: Elever arbejder med at skrive deres egen gyserhistorie for at træne brug af virkemidler fra horror genren (f.eks. The gross-out, the terror, the horror, The Other) og fra tekstanalyse som setting, imagery, character, suspense. De får trænet ordforråd samt grammatik undervejs.

Titel 5 Dystopia EXAM

What is a utopia and a dystopia? Can both exist at the same time? In this course we'll read some dystopian fiction to assess how society can be altered through manipulation, fear and force and how in turn it can resist such developments. We'll also touch upon different real-world examples where dystopian elements and themes can be observed including The Soviet Union, Hitler's nazism, and Modi's India as well as the American system under Trump's second presidency. The push and pull factors of moving a democratic society toward autocracy or anarchism will be explored with the help of fictive and non-fictive texts listed below.
