World Fan Literature. Adapting world literature through world building and fan culture

In this course, we are exploring how world building can be used to create fan fiction from world literature. The course is a collaboration between the Gutenberg University and the National Film school of Denmark. In the course, the National Film school will produce a world Wikipedia from the three novels Gilgamesh, Beowulf and Shankutala. The students of the Gutenberg University will get access to the three world wikies, and in three teams of 5 students produce fanfiction and BookTok videos utilizing the world wikies.
 
The course runs as a combination of lectures, workshops, and individual work. As this is a practical research-based project, all material being published through the world wikies is open source. All other material being made outside the wikies, such as the actual fan fictions being made, belong to the creators.

The format is a joint seminar in blocks (online and in person).  It starts from three classic books of world literature: Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Shakuntala. The course will be held in English.
