WiSe 13/14: Literature and Media-HS-The Dark Side of the Screen
Cordula Lemke
Comments
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 Monster and Dracula have cast in the media. After a close look at the novels, we will trace the Monster's and Dracula's movements in films and TV series and ask how media approaches contribute to different images and perceptions.
Please note that 4 screenings on Mondays after the seminar are compulsory.
Please purchase the following texts:
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (Oxford World's Classics)

Further texts will be made available on Blackboard.
