Monsters vs. Patriarchy: Toxic Imagination in Global Horror Cinema: Global Media and Race
Autor Patricia Saldarriaga, Emy Maninien Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2025
Monsters vs. Patriarchy examines female monstrosity as it appears in horror films from around the world and considers specific political, scientific, and historical contexts to better understand how we construct and reconstruct monstrosity, using an intersectional approach to examine the imposition of gender and racial hierarchies that support national power structures. The authors contend that monstrous female cinematic subjects, including ghosts, witches, cannibals, and posthuman beings, are becoming empowered, using the tools of their monstrification to smash the colonial, white supremacist, and misogynist structures that created them.
