Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment will be on the basis of attendance, active participation, small assignments, presentations and a seminar paper.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This course aims at a) presenting various suspense- and immersion-related categories derived from narratology, psychology and cognitive poetics b) teaching a topic-related analytical toolkit c) enabling students to apply their knowledge and skills in their own projects d) alerting students to related issues such as aesthetic illusion, tellability and possible world theory
Examination topics
group work, lecture, audio- and video-excerpts, classroom discussion, student presentation, home study, seminar paper.
Reading list
A reader with extracts from non-fictional sources and shorter literary texts will be provided. Powerpoint-presentations can be downloaded from the eLearning platform.
