Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Monsters are scary and horrifying creatures, yet their ongoing popularity proves that they are extremely fascinating as well. This course will investigate why monsters both repel and attract us by analysing selected male and female monsters of the late 19th century and comparing them with their (post)modern resurrections in film and television. A special focus will be placed on the question whether – and why – one can identify major differences in the representation of male and female monsters.Students will receive an introduction to gender studies and psychoanalysis, in particular to Julia Kristeva’s notion of the abject. Furthermore, they will be equipped with the necessary “tools” to analyse the various texts and media (literature, film and art).The course will concentrate on Bram Stoker’s Dracula and contemporary adaptations of the novel, and on representations of the femme fatale, in particular mermaids and sirens, from the late 19th to the early 21st centuries.
