This paper focuses on the emotion fear in film reviews of horrors and thrillers. The author analyzes the texts of three German and Czech reviews of the films 'The Ghost Writer' (Roman Polanski) and 'The White Ribbon' (Michael Haneke) to determine which linguistic means are used by the reviewers in their description and interpretation of the films in order to describe and evoke an atmosphere of fear.
Angst in der Jugendliteratur : eine Fallstudie am Beispiel des Romans "Rotkäppchen muss weinen"
(2011)
Using the example of Beate Teresa Hanika's debut novel 'Rotkäppchen muss weinen', the author demonstrates how the basic emotion of fear is manifested in literature for young people. The article presents both the ways in which this emotion is depicted explicitly and the ways in which it is implicitly thematized on several levels of language. In conclusion, drawing also on a previous study of the manifestation of fear in children’s literature, the author addresses the question of whether there are differences in the expression of fear depending on the age of the producers and/or receivers.
