Culture Wars and Horror Movies

Gender Debates in Post-2010's US Horror Cinema

Herausgegeben: Gregorio-Fernández, Noelia; M. Méndez-García, Carmen

Beschreibung

Navigating a polarized society in their representation of social values, twenty-first-century horror films critically frame conflicting and divisive ideological issues. Culture Wars and Horror Movies: Gender Debates in post-2010 US Horror Cinema analyses the ways in which these "culture wars" make their way into gender, focusing on the post-2010 US context and its fundamental political divisions.

Approaching these topics from feminist and postfeminist theories to ecocritical views, this volume explores how contemporary horror movies engage with the current context of "culture wars."
