Abstract:

In India, a popular trope is adapting cultural myths and religious iconographies into visceral images of the monster in literary and visual representations. Cinematic representations of the Indian monster are modelled on existing folklore narratives and religious tales where the idea of the monster emerges from cultural imagination and superstitions of the land. Since it rationalizes several underlying archetypes in which gods are worshipped in their monstrous identities and disposition, the trope of the monster is used in cinema to indicate the transformation from an ordinary human figure to

Abstract:

Monsters constitute an essential aspect of any society, but their imprinted cultural body causes them to fulfill different roles in different cultures. By remaking a monster from a different culture, the mutated entity will fail to reproduce the same meanings since many symbols will be lost in cultural appropriation and faulty translation. This article analyzes such loss of meaning in the portrayal of one relevant monster in Eastern culture (the onryō) in a Western context of horror movie mania, decoding the underlying gender politics ingrained in the Japanese movie and its Hollywood remake Th

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to problematise the notion of woman-as-monster and draws together a conceptual analysis of the monstrous-feminine and its relation to maternal and monstrous bodies including its implications for equality and inclusion in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach – Whilst exploring how female monsters are inextricably tied to their sexual difference, the author draws on social and psychoanalytic perspectives to suggest how such monstrosity is expressed through ambivalence to the maternal. The author analyses two “faces” of the monstrous-feminine in partic

Abstract:

Premiering at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival to great acclaim (it won the award for the Best Canadian Feature, and was eventually included in the IFF’s annual Canada’s Top Ten), Stephen Dunn’s Closet Monster employs monsters metaphorically, primarily in order to express the psychological damage of violent homophobia and to comment on toxic masculinity. Yet monstrosity is not merely a metaphor but also a strategy: the protagonist, a closeted teenager named Oscar, appropriates both monstrosity and heroic narratives in order to manage life as a homosexual person in a deeply homophob

Abstract:

The belief that women are more emotional than men and less able to control the influence of their emotions on their thoughts and behaviours is one of the strongest gender stereotypes in Western cultures. While gender representation in children’s books has been studied since the 1970s and has led to numerous books that challenge gender stereotypes, the notion of women as emotionally irrational persists – even in picturebooks that rewrite or circumvent other gender-stereotypical elements.

Abstract:

Representations of boys and men in Disney films often escape notice due to presumed gender neutrality. Considering this omission, we explore masculinities in films from Disney’s lucrative subsidiary Pixar to determine how masculinities are represented and have and/or have not disrupted dominant gender norms as constructed for young boys’ viewership. Using Raewyn Connell’s theory of gender hegemony and related critiques, we suggest that while Pixar films strive to provide their male characters with a feminist spin, they also continue to reify hegemonic masculinities through sharp contrasts to f

This article explores cinematic and televisual representations of fat male sexuality; rare in mainstream culture, the few depictions foreground abject embodiment to monstrous effect. From tabloid accounts of the Fatty Arbuckle rape trial to the grotesque Highlander Fat Bastard, fat male sexuality paradoxically doesn't exist and in existing, pollutes. This over-determined representation as monstrous and threatening yet simultaneously failed and incapable points to the semiotic threat of fat masculinity: in a system where fat embodiment is marked as feminine, the fat maleness that refuses to occ

Abstract: In this article I analyze the 2011 German indie film Lollipop Monster as a contemporary model for what Lauren Berlant calls "intimate publics." This film twists the genre of the teen girl film by portraying female friendship as a catalyst for unleashing suppressed emotions and subverting oppression. Instead of directing their aggression internally as self-harm, the protagonists of Lollipop Monster use violence against others to reinforce their strong social bond. By employing cinematic techniques from the popular multimedia genre of the music video, Lollipop Monster harkens back to t

He immediately recognizes the creature as a ‘monster’, ‘fiend’ and ‘devil’. After being rejected by his creator, the creature interacts with other characters and gets similar reactions from them be

This article examines Chinese animation Baishe: Yuanqi (White Snake) () and discusses how ecoaesthetics are intertwined with questions of gender representations. Ecoaesthetics are broadly defined to consider the relationship between the human and natural world via de-anthropocentrism – which is the criticism of a human-centred view of the world that surrounds us. The film White Snake focuses on a man who becomes a monster to be with the creature he loves. This article argues that White Snake provides a multi-species model for ecocriticism.

In speculative fiction, these alien creatures offer a more complex interface for the racialized gender and sexual registers of human-animal imaginaries.

Feminism issues are often radically depicted in literary works, especially in a film today.

This essay argues that Mary Robinson’s subversion of gender in her Gothic novel Walsingham (1797) is more radical than critics have suggested.

Along with emphasizing transformation and embodiment, trans theory disrupts essentializing categories such as male, female, heterosexual, gay, and lesbian. It thus provides a useful lens through which to examine Walsingham, in which Sidney and the title character transition from one identity to another. I examine the tran

The study has revealed that gender perceptions in the books are based on the realities of Soviet society. Gender practices describe discrimination against women in the professional sphere, extended motherhood, and a “working mother” contact. Communist gender equality is embodied in the images of Alisa’s “involved

Abstract:

In this contribution, I discuss the potential inclusion of the third gender in future city projects. Drawing on Braidotti’s post-human context, which opens up new ways of reinterpreting the_evolution of our species, I focus on the concept of ‘other’ understood as ‘extraterrestrial’. To do this, I use two structural paradigms: Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetics, in which body and gender are seen as_identifying with each other, and the third gender, which allows the body to detach from its usual subjugation to gender.

Abstract:

Since Bernard Rose’s Candyman (1992) was first released more than 25 years ago, there has been a great deal of scholarly commentary on the film’s treatment of class, race, gender and urban legends. To a lesser degree, Clive Barker’s short story, ‘The Forbidden’ (1986), has received some critical attention largely because of its status as the source material for the film’s general premise and now-iconic central monster. This article expands on such existent scholarship by analysing regional mythologies and the cross-cultural adaptation of place-specific monsters within and across both texts. To

Abstract:

This essay examines the character of biblical Yael oscillating between two patriarchal mythical images of femininity, as portrayed by Gilbert and Gubar—“the angel” and “the monster.” The argument arising is that the transition between these two polar and opposite characters occurs as an extreme response to oppression and injury, followed by a subversive and defying transformation. The essay points to the manner in which Yael’s story, which embodies this transformation, demonstrates how the female body is at the center of this conversion, not only as a site for patriarchal control and taming, b

This research aims to analyze the representation of male and female characters’ in Fireheart movie from the perspective of deconstruction theory proposed by Jean Jacques Derrida. Traditional gender roles assume men as rational, strong, protective, and decisive; they assume women as emotional, irrational, weak, nurturing, and submissive. Deconstruction does not mean to destroy; rather, it means to break down and reconstruct the already constructed structure of something for better understanding.

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to present how the gender-neutral pronoun hen has been used in Swedish picture books since 2012, when the book Kivi & Monsterhund (Kivi & Monster Dog) was published. Hen was first introduced to the Swedish language in the 1960s but did not gain much attention then. However, as the topic of gender became more and more widely discussed in Sweden, the question of hen came up again in the 2000s, receiving indisputably more interest than before. In 2012 the “hen debate” was sparked by Jesper Lundqvist’s book and as a result hen became a part of everyday language, e

Abstract:

AbstractThe participation of women in the 1994 Rwandan genocide should be considered in the context of gender relations in pre-genocide Rwandan society. Many ‘ordinary’ women were involved in the genocide but, overall, committed significantly fewer acts of overt violence than men. Owing to the indirect nature of women's crimes, combined with male ‘chivalry’, women may be under-represented among those pursued for genocide-related crimes, despite the broad conception of complicity in Rwanda's Gacaca Law. Women in leadership positions played a particularly important role in the genocide, and gend

In a futuristic, dystopian Australia, Max Rockatansky is a lone warrior struggling against the forces that have ripped his family, and society as a whole, to shreds. From rogue motorcycle gangs to violencebased legal systems, the Mad Max films depict a world in which the most toxic aspects of masculinity have poisoned society, mutating into something far more dangerous — something monstrous. The series presents a version of monstrosity that has sunk its claws into the very masculinity it usually serves to validate; in light of these subversions, this analysis utilizes monster theory in conjunc

Abstract How was the atomic age visualized in Egypt in the years immediately after the creation of the bomb? What role did gendered images, symbols and metaphors play in narrating and normalizing nuclear technology? How can these help us understand nuclear policy today? This article engages visual and textual media, including satirical magazines, cultural journals and film. It presents a plurality of images: the depiction of the bomb as an egg, as a miniscule and aesthetically pleasing object, alongside more alarming illustrations of the bomb as a monster.
