Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A comprehensive guide to the timeless, paradoxical appeal of horror Why do we enjoy horror The emotional responses the genre provokes-fear, dread, and disgust-are ones we typically seek to avoid, so what is the appeal of narratives and artistic representations that seek to scare, startle, shock, and repulse In The Horror Theory Reader, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock assembles theorizations of the genre's appeal from antiquity to the present day to explore the 'paradox of horror' that has for millennia preoccupied theorists and consumers alike. Beginning with an introduction situating the history of horror in the context of moral panics, this carefully curated volume then is organized into three sections that introduce early attempts to explain horror's fascination; present perspectives from horror writers, filmmakers, and scholars; and offer nuanced considerations of horror's intersections with disability, queerness, race, and gender. Featuring classic commentaries on the genre by H. P. Lovecraft, Alfred Hitchcock, and Stephen King alongside incisive essays by philosophers, literary and film scholars, cultural critics, and others, The Horror Theory Reader is indispensable for scholars and will be of interest to anyone curious about our paradoxical enjoyment of appalling and fearsome things.
