As Barbara Creed notes in a recent interview, the patriarchal stereotype of horror that she named ‘the monstrous-feminine’ has, decades later, ‘embarked on a life of her own’. Focused on this altered and renewed form of female monstrosity, this study engages with an international array of recent and contemporary screen entertainments, from arthouse and indie horror films by emergent female auteurs, to the franchised products of multimedia conglomerates, to ‘quality‘ television horror, to the social media-based creations of horror fans working as ‘pro-sumers’. In this way, the monograph in its organisation and scope maps the converged and rapidly changing environment of 21st century screen cultures in order to situate the monstrous female anti-hero as one of its distinctive products. | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | Horror; Feminine; Female Monster; Cinema; 21st Century Cinema; Screen Culture; Abject | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12844-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-12846-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-12844-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
