How do understandings of 'popular' fiction change over time and how do they compare across cultures? How are genres such as mystery, romance, crime or horror, reshaped by media such as manga or redefined in specific historical and political conditions, such as the German Wende? In this unit, students will study a variety of popular genres in different cultural and historical contexts. The unit will include consideration of the role of writer(s), audience reception and fan interaction. Students will develop detailed knowledge of literary production as an arena for the representation of widespread issues and the shaping of sentiment in society, and of popular fiction as a cultural industry.
