- Inhalt
- Crime fiction is one of the most popular genres in literature and film and most readers are familiar with fictional detectives such as Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple. However, many crime novels or films are based on actual crimes or actual detectives, often without explicitly stating so. Or did you know that Wilkie Collins’ in The Moonstone, one of the first ever crime novels in English, some of the elements of the story are actually based on a real crime, even on a murder?
Besides fictional stories including real elements, there is the whole genre of true crime fiction, stories of real crimes told in an entertaining way. Just like fiction, true crime fiction, as the name already implies, makes use of narrative strategies and literary elements since, after all, they still tell a story. But what are the differences between fictitious stories and factual stories told with the same narrative strategies? Are there any differences? And how does that work for film? Are there differences in the depiction of real and fictitious crimes? All of these questions are going to be examined in this class and we are going to discuss literature of various kinds, film and documentaries, and other texts.
Please be aware that you need to read several texts throughout the semester!
