Module assignments

Comment/Description

This course serves as an introduction to central concepts of narrative analysis, including narrative situation, time and space, unreliability etc. Discussions of theoretical texts lay the foundation for the analysis of selected short stories, practicing the application of relevant concepts in close reading exercises. In this course we will engage with various manifestations of hauntings—be it specters, uncanny encounters or unresolved pasts—in texts ranging from classic Gothic tales to contemporary speculative fiction.

This course is hands-on and interactive and aims to provide students with the conceptual vocabulary and methodological approaches to interpreting narrative fiction, a necessary skill both in regard to writing term papers in literary and cultural studies and (if applicable) the state exam.

All course materials will be provided via Digicampus.

Please note that for the modules EAS-1411 and EAS-1414, this course has to be combined with the Proseminar “Haunted Houses, Ghosts of the Past: Postcolonial Hauntings in Anglophone Fiction and Film" (Nadine Ellinger).
