Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The figure of the vampire is a comparatively recent invention. Traditionally, 1819 is regarded as the starting point of the vampire's staggering literary career: this was the year that saw the publication of John Polidori's Gothic tale The Vampyre. Since then, the figure of the vampire has never quite gone out of fashion; thus proving to be truly immortal, or 'undead'. This is due in part to the vampire's early assimilation into pop culture, while recent series, such as Buffy, Moonlight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and Twilight bear witness to a remarkable upsurge in vampire mania. Conceiving of the vampire as a vehicle for the shifting concerns of modern sensibility, we will trace his transformation from fanged fiend to fashion icon.
