Caracteristici
Argues that Deleuze and Guattari's theories of radically affirmative, qualitative difference offer ways of understanding how horror might invoke "monstrosity" without reifying woman's "Otherness" in the phallocentric gender binary

Recenzii
This is a cutting-edge, truly significant work. In her unique and compelling application of Deleuzian "schizosophy" to modern horror, Hawkins claims to "push the embodied unthinking of the gender binary further in the field of feminist film theory, for the sake of both film theory and feminism itself," and indeed she does. Hawkins reminds us that we are "misshapen, half-formed creatures, full of desire," and convinces us that we need not experience that as a negative thing but rather as the beginning of our liberation from the repressive molar-ized world of modernity. Truly a triumph!
Situating her work on motherhood in the "interstitial" current moment when gender roles have been complicated and troubled but with no alternatives as yet articulated, Sunny Hawkins employs Deleuzian schizoanalysis to examine motherhood in horror films. Her work is provocative and useful for film and gender scholars, and her readings of specific films such as Alien, Frankenstein, Twilight, and Underworld give them new life.
Sunny Hawkins' excellent book is a valuable addition to the growing areas of Deleuze and feminist film theory and Deleuze and the horror film. Deleuze and the Gynesis of Horror returns to some important feminist critiques of the concepts of Woman, the feminine and sexual difference and recasts them using Deleuze's nonbinary understanding of difference. Hawkins' discerning and nuanced schizoanalytic readings of sexual difference, motherhood and the feminine in the horror film bring to life affective, molecular and rhizomatic film viewing experiences.
