Shakespeare and love
In our first subject, we will read a part of a fun and silly play by William Shakespeare called "A midsummer night's dream". We will also see the play on the 20th of August in the evening.
However, our main focus will be on some of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Particular attention will be given to a few Sonnets, which are a part of the ‘the dark lady’ sonnets. The Shakespearean Sonnets or the ‘English sonnets’ have a different style –both in mood and rhythm than the traditional Petrarchan sonnets or ‘Italian Sonnets’. We will explore both the rhyme, structure, mood and theme in the sonnets. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to make your own sonnet at the end of the course.

Novel
In this course, we will read the novel ”Quicksand” by Nella Larson. She was an American novelist who had a Danish mother. The novel takes part in both the south and north of the United States, but also in Denmark. The protagonist Helga is like Nella Larson of mixed races. She is struggeling with her identity as a woman, mix-coulored person, american-danish descent, and as a human being. Fashion (and music) is a big part of her life.

The novel was written during the Harlem Renaissance, which we will give a brief introduction to in order to understand different aspects of the the novel.

Class choice: Horror
I dette forholdsvis korte forløb starter vi med det gotiske, og herunder 'the female gotic'. Vi har fokus på den freudianske læsning over for den samfundskritiske læsning i The Boogeyman. Herefter kigger vi på de filmiske virkemidler når vi ser den lidt fjollet 90'er film Buffy for efterfølgende at arbejde med the begrebet Final Girl.
Kernetekster:
The Phantom coach by Amelia Edwards, 1864 (approx. 25 normalsider)
The Boogeyman by Stephen King, 1976 (approx. 13 normalsider)
Byffy the vampire slayer, Fran Rubel Kuzui, 1992 (86 min)
Carol J. Clover: Her Body, Himself: Gender in the Slasher Film ,1987 (approx. 3 pages)
