课程名称：美国文学：哥特与埃德加·爱伦·坡 课程概述：本课程将探讨埃德加·爱伦·坡作品中常见的哥特与神秘主题。在课程的开头部分，我将讨论英美文学中的一些例子，而在后半部分，重点将放在坡的特定作品上。该课程不仅仅是文学分析，我们还将考察哥特元素如何产生恐惧与恐怖，以及引发焦虑的感觉。这些元素包括怪物、鬼魂、双重身、被活埋的女性、疯狂的主角、场景、角色和物体的重复，以及迷宫般的环境和封闭的哥特式大宅。我将分析这些元素如何反映角色/叙述者，并以意想不到的方式营造悬念。 每节课讨论坡的一篇故事或诗歌，并力求提供这些文学文本的独特解读。坡的故事如何掌握恐怖的元素？这些文本如何创造悬念？为了回答这些问题，我们将借助西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的“陌生性”概念以及茨维坦·托多罗夫的“奇幻”概念进行探讨。
In this course I will try to offer a glimpse into the most common Gothic and uncanny motifs that occur in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. I the introductory part I intend to discuss examples of both English and American literature, while in the second part of the course emphasis will fall on specific examples/texts by E. A. Poe. This course is more than just literary analysis: we will try to look at the ways the elements of the gothic generate fear and horror, as well as a sense of anxiety. Such elements include, of course, monsters, ghost, doppelgangers, ladies buried alive, mad protagonists, repetition of places, characters and objects, as well as labyrinth like settings, claustrophobic gothic mansions. I will look at how, by what means such elements reflect on characters/narrators and how they create suspense in the most unexpected ways.Each lesson discusses a story/poem written by Poe and attempts to offer a unique interpretation of these literary texts. How do Poe's stories master the elements of horror? How do such texts create suspense? To answer these questions we will try to make use of Sigmund Freud's concept of "the uncanny" as well as Tzvetan Todorov's concept of "the fantastic."
