FYS 045: Gothic Imagination in Folklore,Fiction,and Film
3.00 Credits
Lafayette College
The Gothic imagination is populated by the unquiet, the undead, the unholy, and it feeds on blood, dread, death. It relishes deviance, degeneracy, demoralization. Characterized in this way, the Gothic sensibility has traditionally been disparaged as immature, immoderate, soap-operatic. More recently, critics have found in its recesses and excesses a unique power to elucidate and emancipate. This seminar examines the power of the Gothic imagination as it animates selected folk, fictional, and film narratives. Truten
