What’s behind the fascination with conspiracy theories in popular culture? Are we living in a world where nothing is as it seems? In this episode, Oda and Helle sit down with Professor Michael Prince to explore how conspiracy and paranoia have shaped literature and film. With examples ranging from the eerie suburbia of The Stepford Wives to the iconic graphic novel Watchmen and the mind-bending world of The Truman Show, we discuss how America’s “conspiracy nation” mindset plays out in storytelling.

Hva er egentlig litteratur? Hvorfor leser vi den? Finnes det universelle mønstre som går igjen på tvers av tid og sted? Hvorfor det er interessant å se på litteraturen i et bredere perspektiv enn bare enkeltverk og forfatterskap? Disse og flere spørsmål utforskes i «Litteraturens mønstre»: en podkast om tendenser, temaer og troper i litteraturen.

Gjennom samtaler med litteraturforskere fra Universitetet i Agder (UiA) og fra andre universiteter retter litteraturstipendiatene Oda Sagebakken Slotnes og Helle Marie Vatne et skråblikk mot de mønstrene som har etablert seg i litteraturen – både i samtiden, og gjennom litteraturhistorien. Podkasten retter seg mot litteraturinteresserte, studenter og det litteraturvitenskapelige fagmiljøet.
