Afghanistan in Literature and Film - Einzelansicht

Afghanistan is a country of war and devastation – or so we think. In Western film and literature, it has played the role of dangerous playground for adventurous travellers, but also as horror backdrop for warriors-in-training. In this seminar, we will have a look at Afghanistan in Western imagination, at horror stories from the 19^th century as well as blockbuster movies of the 21^st. Literature will be made available.
