Horror
Course description:
Why are so many of us attracted to horror stories and creepy monsters? Much horror fiction is pure entertainment, but at the same time, horror stories say something about the societal context in which they’re made, and they say something about the human minds that produce and consume them.
The course explores the horror genre in fiction with a main focus on Stephen King. In order to qualify the analysis and discussion of horror fiction, we will apply knowledge about Stephen King's 3 agents of horror, Robin Wood's Freudian theory and the theory of Todorov regarding fantastic fiction.
-analysere og fortolke forskellige nyere og ældre teksttyper under anvendelse af faglig terminologi - perspektivere den enkelte tekst i forhold til samfundsmæssige, kulturelle´, historiske og litteraturhistoriske sammenhænge - forståelse for genrekonventioner. - give en længere. velstruktureret mundtlig og skriftlig fremstilling på flydende, korrekt engelsk af komplekse sagsforhold med forståelse for kommunikationssituationen.
