Interviews with the Vampires - A Live Radio Show
December 21, 2024, 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Radio ORANGE 94.0
In the longest night of the year, on the 21st of December, "Interviews with the Vampires" will go live on Radio Orange (Vienna, on 94.0 MHz), Radio Fro (Linz, on 105.0 MHz) and Freies Radio Freistadt (on 107.1 MHz). The broadcast will present interviews, audio essays and radio dramas by students of the seminar "Interviews with the Vampires" held by Julia Grillmayr at the Department for Cultural Studies.
Since, at least, Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897), every time you might think that the pop-cultural thirst for the undead blood drinkers is finally ebbing away, vampires make a big comeback in literature, film and TV. We explored the cultural meanings of this insatiable love for vampiric characters and motives. We bibliographed vampire fictions. We examined different forms and functions of vampiric representations. And we interviewed vampires and vampire experts.
The Radio show is in English & German.
