Technologies of the Gothic in Literature and Culture: Technogothics: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

Editat de Justin D. Edwards
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 ian 2015
This volume, a collection with contributions from some of the major scholars of the Gothic in literature and culture, reflects on how recent Gothic studies have foregrounded a plethora of technologies associated with Gothic literary and cultural production. The engaging essays look into the links between technologies and the proliferation of the Gothic seen in an excess of Gothic texts and tropes: Frankensteinesque experiments, the manufacture of synthetic (true?) blood, Moreauesque hybrids, the power of the Borg, Dr Jekyll’s chemical experimentations, the machinery of Steampunk, or the corporeal modifications of Edward Scissorhands. Further, they explore how techno-science has contributed to the proliferation of the Gothic: Gothic in social media, digital technologies, the on-line gaming and virtual Goth/ic communities, the special effects of Gothic-horror cinema. Contributors address how Gothic technologies have, in a general sense, produced and perpetuated ideologies and influenced the politics of cultural practice, asking significant questions: How has the technology of the Gothic contributed to the writing of self and other? How have Gothic technologies been gendered, sexualized, encrypted, coded or de-coded? How has the Gothic manifested itself in new technologies across diverse geographical locations? This volume explores how Gothic technologies textualize identities and construct communities within a complex network of power relations in local, national, transnational, and global contexts. It will be of interest to scholars of the literary Gothic, extending beyond to include fascinating interventions into the areas of cultural studies, popular culture, science fiction, film, and TV.

Descriere

This book reflects on how recent Gothic studies have foregrounded a plethora of technologies associated with Gothic literary and cultural production. Essays explore the links between technologies and the proliferation of the Gothic in a range of texts and tropes, such as the machinery of Steampunk or the corporeal modifications of Edward Scissorhands, and they ask how techno-science has contributed to the spread of the Gothic: in social media, digital technologies, virtual communities, or Gothic-horror cinema. This book explores how Gothic technologies textualize identities and construct communities within a network of power relations in local, national, transnational, and global contexts.
