| Zusammenfassung: | "In this groundbreaking work, author David Scott Diffrient explores largely understudied facets of cinematic horror, from the various odors permeating classic and contemporary films to the wetness, sliminess, and stickiness of these productions, which, he argues, practically scream out for a tactile mode of textural analysis as much as they call for more traditional forms of textual analysis. Dating back to Carol Clover's and Linda Williams's pioneering work on horror cinema, film scholars have long conceptualized this once-disreputable category of cultural production as a "body genre." However, despite the growing recognition that horror serves important biological and social functions in our lives, scholars have only scratched the surface of this genre with regard to its affective, corporeal, and sensorial appeals. Diffrient anatomizes horror films in much the same way that a mad scientist might handle the body, separating and recombining constitutive parts into a new analytical whole. Further, he challenges the tendency of scholars to privilege human over nonhuman beings and calls into question ableist assumptions about the centrality to horror films of sight and sound to the near exclusion of other forms of sense experience. In addition to examining the role that animals-living or dead, real or fake-play in human-centered fictions, this volume asks what it means for audiences to consume motion pictures in which actors, stunt performers, and other creative personnel have put their own bodies and lives at risk for our amusement. Historically grounded and theoretically expansive, Body Genre: Anatomy of the Horror Film moves the study of cinematic horror into previously unchartered waters and breathes life into a subject that, not coincidentally, is intimately connected to breathing as our most cherished dividing line between life and death"-- |

Preparing to be unprepared: horror film's predictable unpredictability Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-291) and index "In this groundbreaking work, author David Scott Diffrient explores largely understudied facets of cinematic horror, from the various odors permeating classic and contemporary films to the wetness, sliminess, and stickiness of these productions, which, he argues, practically scream out for a tactile mode of textural analysis as much as they call for more traditional forms of textual analysis. Dating back to Carol Clover's and Linda Williams's pioneering work on horror cinema, film scholars have long conceptualized this once-disreputable category of cultural production as a "body genre." However, despite the growing recognition that horror serves important biological and social functions in our lives, scholars have only scratched the surface of this genre with regard to its affective, corporeal, and sensorial appeals. Diffrient anatomizes horror films in much the same way that a mad scientist might handle the body, separating and recombining constitutive parts into a new analytical whole. Further, he challenges the tendency of scholars to privilege human over nonhuman beings and calls into question ableist assumptions about the centrality to horror films of sight and sound to the near exclusion of other forms of sense experience. In addition to examining the role that animals-living or dead, real or fake-play in human-centered fictions, this volume asks what it means for audiences to consume motion pictures in which actors, stunt performers, and other creative personnel have put their own bodies and lives at risk for our amusement. Historically grounded and theoretically expansive, Body Genre: Anatomy of the Horror Film moves the study of cinematic horror into previously unchartered waters and breathes life into a subject that, not coincidentally, is intimately connected to breathing as our most cherished dividing line between life and death"-- Horrorfilm (DE-588)4127415-5 gnd rswk-swf Horror films / History and criticism Human body in motion pictures Senses and sensation in motion pictures Horror films / Production and direction Horror films / Psychological aspects Motion picture audiences / Psychology Fear in motion pictures Films d'horreur - Histoire et critique Corps humain au cinéma Sens et sensations au cinéma Films d'horreur - Production et réalisation Films d'horreur - Aspect psychologique Cinéma - Publics - Psychologie Peur au cinéma Horror films Horror films - Production and direction Horror films - Psychological aspects Motion picture audiences - Psychology Criticism, interpretation, etc Horrorfilm (DE-588)4127415-5 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-1-4968-4799-7 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-1-4968-4800-0 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-1-4968-4801-7 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB Diffrient, David Scott Body genre Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 978-1-4968-4798-0 Digitalisierung UB Bamberg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034871651&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
