Haunted Histories and Troubled Pasts

Twenty-First-Century Screen Horror and the Historical Imagination

Herausgeber: Howell, Amanda; Green, Stephanie

Beschreibung

"Haunted Histories and Troubled Pasts demonstrates how a transnational array of recent screen entertainments participate, through horror, in public discourses of history, the social and creative work of reshaping popular understanding of our world through the lens of the past. The essays address 21st-century screen horror's fascination with and concern for the historical - its recurrent reimagining of the relation between the past and present. They are concerned with the historical work of horror's spectral occupations, its visceral threats of violence and its capacity for exploring repressed social identities, as well as the ruptures and impositions of colonization and nationhood"--
