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, a raised temperature and a quickened heartbeat. 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. Studying texts from diverse media will help us appreciate the genre-specific features of this reader reception phenomenon.
