Описание: Gender and Sexuality in Latin American Horror Cinema explores the different mechanisms and strategies through which horrorfilms attempt to reinforce or contest gender relations and issues of sexualidentity in the continent. The book explores issues of machismo, marianismo,homosociality, bromance, among others through the lens of horror narrativesand, especially, it offers an analysis of monstrosity and the figure of themonster as an outlet to play out socio-sexual anxieties in different societiesor gender groups. The author looks at a wide rage of films from countries suchas Cuba, Peru, Mexico and Argentina and draws points of commonality, as well ascomparing essential differences, between the way that horror fictions –considered by many as low-brow cinema - can be effective to delve into the waythat sexuality and gender operates and circulates in the popular imaginary inthese regions.
Horror cinema flourishes in times of ideological crisis and national trauma--the Great Depression, the Cold War, the Vietnam era, post-9/11--and this critical text argues that a succession of filmmakers working in horror--from James Whale to Jen and Sylvia Soska--have used the genre, and the shock value it affords, to challenge the status quo during these times. Spanning the decades from the 1930s onward it examines the work of producers and directors as varied as George A. Romero, Pete Walker, Michael Reeves, Herman Cohen, Wes Craven and Brian Yuzna and the ways in which films like Frankenstein (1931), Cat People (1942), The Woman (2011) and American Mary (2012) can be considered "subversive."
