Ghostly Doubles and Evil Twins

Course #: GERMAN 330L

A doppelganger is a ghostly double of a living person and typically appears as his or her twin, shadow or mirror image, representing evil or misfortune. This course examines the doppelganger as a figure of supernatural horror that simultaneously facilities inquiries into questions of personal identity and the nature of the cinematic medium. Taught in English.
