Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Of the many motivations for reading a text, suspense is the one which has the most palpable, even physical effect. Thrilling texts can produce goose pimples, moist hands, raised temperatures and quickened heartbeats. In this course, we will investigate the phenomenon of suspense, analyse its various types and forms and follow its changing course throughout the different stages of literary history. Reading texts from diverse genres and media will help us appreciate the genre-specific features of this reader reception phenomenon.
