This article investigates the emotive potency of horror soundtracks. The account illuminates the potency of aural elements in horror cinema to engage spectators body in the light of a philosophical framework of emotion, namely, the embodied appraisal theories of emotion. The significance of aural elements in horror cinema has been gaining recognition in film studies. Yet it still receives relatively scarce attention in the philosophical accounts of film music and cinematic horror, which tend to underappreciate the power of horror film sound and music in inducing emotions.

Abstract:
Abstract French film director and screenwriter Julia Ducournau's sophomore body horror film, Titane (2021), like its predecessors of the same genre, examines the malleability and fragility of human corporeality. The film can be categorized under the New French Extremity, a genre coined by art critic James Quandt, who disapprovingly expressed his concerns with the rampant depictions of blood and violence in film; however, this article contends that Ducournau's film offer much more than mere shock factor and spectacle of taboo objects.

Abstract:
The genre of horror film was invented with the production of Dracula (1931). Since then, a large number of horror films have been made. Even though horror has often been considered an inferior film genre, the 20th Century witnessed several filmmakers, directors and films that have contributed to the elevation of the horror film genre. The scope of horror films has extended, and the types of horror have diversified over time, especially during the 1970s and 1980s. Body horror is a peculiar sub-genre of horror film genre. Though its history is not too long, a significant number of body horror fi

Abstract:
Genre horor seringkali menghadirkan perempuan sebagai sosok mengerikan dan menakutkan. Penggambaran tersebut berangkat dari mitos tentang perempuan yang sengaja direpresentasikan sebagai sosok yang mengancam laki-laki. Sebagai akibatnya, sosok menakutkan dan mengerikan diidentikkan dengan perempuan. Terkait dengan mayoritas karya bergenre horor yang menampilkan perempuan sebagai sosok yang menakutkan dan mengerikan dengan teror dan penampilannya, horor di Jepang yang biasa disebut dengan kaidan (怪談) juga masih mempertahankan praktik tersebut.

In doing so, the author includes the concepts of “horror body” and “non-human” in her research, considering new body horror films in a post-human and non-human perspective. In addition, the author turns to the concept of the “new flesh” by David Cronenberg to identify technological or specific mutations in body horror films. According to the author,

Abstract: A Black Lives Matter‒era "new wave" of Black media has created an expansive space for exploring Black subjectivities and critiquing American racism. This includes a surge in Black horror that inverts the equation of blackness with monstrosity while showcasing Black fears and terror. This "new wave" is striking for its engagement of the gothic across different genres and subjects, beyond (Black) horror.

This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of David Cronenberg's body-horror films in relation to their embodied spectators. In these films, the horror is not only about the vulnerability of the mortal body, but also about the horrific consequences of organizing culture around the philosophical splitting of the mind from the body. To analyze this relationship, I utilize Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology of the body, object-relations psychoanalysis, especially D. W.

Abstract Virtual worlds now allow 'second lives' for World Wide Web users online, lives where identity is mutable and not assailed by the fallibility or perceived inadequacy of the flesh. Two terms have entered the new media lexicon, that are useful in denoting this dualism between the real and the simulated, 'cyberspace' and 'meatspace'. The meatspace is simply where the meat lives; meatspace is where physical, in contrast to electronic, interaction takes place. What the virtual is to cyberspace, flesh and blood is to meatspace.

Abstract:
This thesis is an attempt to account for the contemporary American horror film's increased reliance upon images of bodily dismemberment and decay. At the core of this exploration is an inspection of the body's capability as a metaphor by which our understanding of the relation of self to society is articulated. The horror film is shown to be a genre traditionally disposed towards the interrogation of categories of human identity,and one which is now responding to the kind of cultural developments often referred to by the expression postmodernism. As such the genre is placed in a context of oth

This thesis investigates the ways In which Horror metaphorically appeals to the viewers sense of identity by presenting a moment of crisis and deconstructing normative auto-boundaries. I employ various films and novels to illustrate the philosophical complexities of selfhood, especially centring upon the supposed "norm" subject. These moments of trauma are evinced in the contradictory pulls of ideology, and are symbolically rendered through the deconstruction of the body (the signifier of selfhood) onscreen.

<p> Given the increased public enthusiasm for the genres of Horror and Science Fiction, as well as the renewed and ever-evolving interest in indie horror films (propelling them into the mainstream), there is a noticeable increase of public eagerness to consume films that toy with the ideas of anxiety and the body. While many of these films seem to fit the rubric of heteronormative and mainstream Hollywood productions that occupy a neat world of perfectly defined gender identities, we can still excavate bodies that fall outside of such neat definitions.

A brief history of the genre will be given, after which the focus will fall on contemporary Horror film, paying specific attention to the relationship between violence and horror, the theme of sacrificial violence, and the transgression of ‘natural’ laws. An eclectic approach is followed, drawing from literary theory, theology, psychology, and, of course, film theory.
