Textul de pe ultima copertă
“The interweaving of gender and horror serves as an unsettling lens through which current socio-cultural and political upheavals can be read. The present publication offers a kaleidoscopic analysis of our contemporary moment through an array of films, with each one shedding light on the transgressions, fears, and traumas still inscribed on the gendered body. This is a must-read volume that turns its attention to film-captured corporeal violence that marks the 21st century.” Tatiani G. Rapatzikou- Associate Professor, Department of American Literature and Culture (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece). EAAS Secretary General 2014-2022.“Culture Wars and Horror Movies is an excellent survey of contemporary horror cinema within its various political and cultural contexts. Uniformly insightful, the essays gathered here illuminate much of what horror since the millennium is about. Highly recommended.”
Barry Keith Grant- Professor Emeritus of Film Studies and Popular Culture (Brock University). Author of The Dread of Difference: Gender and the Horror Film.

Culture Wars and Horror Movies: Gender Debates in post-2010 US Horror Cinema analyses the ways in which these “culture wars” make their way into gender, focusing on the post-2010 US context and its fundamental political divisions.
