This semester I attend a course about death in popular culture which seems fit to work for blogging again.
The course will take a closer look on how the theme death appears in different fields of popular culture and in what kind of context it is used. Questions of how death is personalized (e.g. the Grim Reaper), how death can mystify a person (e.g. Kurt Cubain, Elivs…) or a piece of art (e.g. Mozarts Requiem) or how death is portrayed in movies will be raised and analyzed.
As the course is in German I will most likely start blogging in German.
