PS-Introduction to Cultural Studies: Gothic Monsters
Cordula Lemke
Kommentar
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula have greatly attracted readers, writers and the film industry to this day. From Werner Herzog and Roman Polanski to Wes Craven, Mel Brooks or Kenneth Branagh, film makers have tackled the topic of the megalomaniac scientist and the bloodthirsty vampire. In this seminar we will focus on the different shadows which Frankenstein's Creature and Dracula have cast in the media. After a close look at the novels, we will trace the Creature’s and Dracula's movements in films and TV series and ask how media approaches contribute to different images and perceptions.
Texts: Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (Oxford World's Classics) Bram Stoker, Dracula (Oxford World's Classics)
