    Monsters in Performance (eBook, ePUB)
    Monsters in Performance boasts an impressive range of contemporary essays that delve into topical themes such as race, gender, and disability, to explore what constitutes monstrosity within the performing arts. These fascinating essays from leading and emerging scholars explore representation in performance, specifically concerning themselves with attempts at social disqualification of "undesirables." Throughout, the writers employ the concept of "monstrosity" to describe the cultural processes by which certain identities or bodies are configured to be threateningly deviant. The editors take a range of previously isolated critical inquiries - including bioethics, critical race studies, queer studies, and televisual studies - and merge them to create an accessible and dynamic platform which unifies these ranges of representations. The global scope and interdisciplinary nature of Monsters in Performance renders it an essential book for Theatre and Performance students of all levels as well as scholars; it will also be an enlightening text for those interested in monstrosity and Cultural Studies more broadly.

    Monstrosity - Die Kreatur
    Auf einer Insel vor der Küste Floridas geht ein Monster um. Zumindest behaupten das die Einheimischen, wenn mal wieder jemand im dichten Wald verschwindet, um nie wieder aufzutauchen.Clare Prentiss, die neue Sicherheitschefin des Krebsforschungszentrums, spürt schon an ihrem ersten Arbeitstag, dass auf der Insel etwas nicht stimmt. Sie glaubt nicht an Monster - bis der Anblick bizarrer Mutationen und die unglaublichen Aussagen einer Überlebenden sie zweifeln lassen.Bald fühlt sie sich verfolgt. Und tatsächlich: Jemand steht in den Nächten vor ihrem Fenster und beobachtet sie. Heimlich, voller Begierde ... Es ist kein Mann. Eher eine Monstrosität. Und dieses Wissen erweckt in Clare absonderliche sexuelle Fantasien ...Originell, verstörend und gewagt. Die Bücher des Kultautors Edward Lee sind ein echtes, aber schmutziges Erlebnis.Richard Laymon: "Edward Lee - das ist literarische Körperverletzung!"

    Horror Film and Otherness (eBook, ePUB)
    What do horror films reveal about social difference in the everyday world? Criticism of the genre often relies on a dichotomy between monstrosity and normality, in which unearthly creatures and deranged killers are metaphors for society's fear of the "others" that threaten the "normal." The monstrous other might represent women, Jews, or Blacks, as well as Indigenous, queer, poor, elderly, or disabled people. The horror film's depiction of such minorities can be sympathetic to their exclusion or complicit in their oppression, but ultimately, these images are understood to stand in for the others that the majority dreads and marginalizes.Adam Lowenstein offers a new account of horror and why it matters for understanding social otherness. He argues that horror films reveal how the category of the other is not fixed. Instead, the genre captures ongoing metamorphoses across "normal" self and "monstrous" other. This "transformative otherness" confronts viewers with the other's experience-and challenges us to recognize that we are all vulnerable to becoming or being seen as the other. Instead of settling into comforting certainties regarding monstrosity and normality, horror exposes the ongoing struggle to acknowledge self and other as fundamentally intertwined.Horror Film and Otherness features new interpretations of landmark films by directors including Tobe Hooper, George A. Romero, John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, Stephanie Rothman, Jennifer Kent, Marina de Van, and Jordan Peele. Through close analysis of their engagement with different forms of otherness, this book provides new perspectives on horror's significance for culture, politics, and art.
