SoSe 19: Stephen King and American Horror
Martin Lüthe
Kommentar
The seminar will take Stephen King’s oeuvre as a means to address and analyze issues of cultural production, transmediality and practices of media adaptation, regimes of recognition and media affordances, and, finally, the broad anxieties that have been circulating in North America – and the United States specifically – since roughly the mid-1970s (and in the context of what we could refer to as “American horror”). We will begin with a seemingly simple set of questions, namely: What are the ways we can look at King as cultural actant (and auteur?) and what are the ways in which he makes us look at the United States as a late modern society? And, finally, if it really is only fear itself that US-Americans have to fear then what do we learn by studying fear and its generic culmination and tradition we call horror? Schließen
