Description

Students focus on how horror narratives reify, challenge, and critique cultural narratives revolving around monsters (supernatural, human, “real†and abstract) since the late 1950s. Through the reading and viewing of a variety of texts in fiction and film, students examine how the horror genre gives expression to (oftentimes contradictory) anxieties, fears, hopes, and beliefs animating contemporary culture.
