TY - CHAP A1 - Martínez, Matías A2 - Hardt, Freia T1 - Delightful horror : urban legends between fact and fiction T2 - Mapping the world : new perspectives in the humanities and social sciences / hrsg. von Freia Hardt N2 - These […] stories are chosen from anthologies with texts called 'urban legends' (sometimes they are also referred to as 'contemporary legends', or 'urban myths'). Bearing this name in mind, we tend to read these texts as 'Iegendary' narratives that relate ficticious stories of events which never happened. But what if somebody told you these stories as factual accounts of events that really happened to the friend of a friend: wouldn't you believe them to be true – or at least consider seriously the possibility of their truthfulness? Before entering in a discussion of this question, I want to introduce in more detail the kind of narrative I am seeking to analyze.
