In the Romantic period, women writers developed specific aesthetics and writing strategies in their engagements with climate change and climate catastrophe. The book draws on intersectional feminist and ecocritical approaches to highlight gender as a complicating category in Romantic engagements with these topics. It addresses the ways in which gen...

In the following, I will attempt to show how some of the uncanny materialities in Nosferatu work towards a destabilisation of the anthropocentric perspective in what is essentially a narrative of the death of the human. The opening titles of the film oscillate between realism – thenarrative claims to be a recording of the mass deaths in Wisborg in...

Nosferatu’ in the 21st Century is a celebration and a critical study of F. W. Murnau’s seminal vampire film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens on the 100th Anniversary of its release in 1922. The movie remains a dark mirror to the troubled world we live in seeing it as striking and important in the 2020s as it was a century ago. The unmistakable...

Nosferatu

This article discusses how the recent film adaptation of Macbeth directed by Joel Coen (2021) uses nature imagery – most prominently birds – to visualise ambiguities of literal and metaphorical meaning already inherent in the language of Shakespeare’s play, as well as Akira Kurosawa’s filmic adaptation Throne of Blood (1958). My arguments focus on...

The Gothic: Studies in History, Identity and Space offers a critical examination of gothic elements in fiction, film and popular culture texts from the beginnings of the genre to the present. The articles collected in the volume explore questions of identity, space, history and social equilibrium as portrayed through distinctly Gothic imagery. Trac...

Monstrous textuality emerges when Gothic narratives like Frankenstein reflect the monstrous in their narrative structure to create narratives of resistance. It allows writers to meta-narratively reflect their own poetics and textual production, and reclaim authority over their work under circumstances of systemic cultural oppression and Othering. T...

Was liegt (Anti-)Diskriminierung zu Grunde, in welchen Räumen findet sie statt und welche Dimensionen nimmt sie an? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes widmen sich diesen und den Fragen nach Definition, Ursachen und Wirkungen von verschiedenen Formen der Diskriminierung und nähern sich gleichzeitig einem theoretischen und praktischen Verständnis von Ant...

This chapter traces the posthuman Gothic in a number of recent examples – in film ( Ex Machina (2015), Ghost in the Shell (2017)), television ( Westworld (2016–), Black Mirror (2011–)), narrative fiction (Marisha Pessl's Night Film (2013) and Gemma Files’s Experimental Film (2015)) and graphic novels ( The Beauty (2016–). These texts explore the ma...

Inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, cybergothic texts from the late 20th and early 21st century have explored fears of posthuman becomings. While monstrous machineries and techno-hybridizations are, of course, central tropes of the Science Fiction genre, it is within a framework of Gothic textuality that these fears can be explored in a more s...

Each essay in this collection, after the introduction, focuses on a particular kind of theory-Gothic relationship, every one of which has a history and each of which is still being explored in enactments of the Gothic and of theory today. Rather than recounting how different schools of theory and criticism have viewed the Gothic, these chapters arg...

This article traces the historical impulse in two intertextually connected dystopian texts – George Orwell’s 1984 (1949) and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) – by reading the two novels in the context of the construction of historical narrative after the proclaimed ‘end of history’ in the twentieth century. It considers their representa...

The article reads a number of recent zombie narratives that include conscious/ sentient zombies as narrators or focalizers in the light of posthumanist theory (most prominently Rosi Braidotti’s work). The main argument revolves around the meta narrative construction of these texts, based on posthuman consciousness, suggesting that they allow reader...

In einem Zeitalter zahlreicher globaler Umbrüche destabilisieren klimatische, politische und finanzielle Krisen und die daraus resultierenden Kriege und Konflikte gesellschaftliche Strukturen und kulturelle Wertemuster weltweit. Unter diesen Umständen müssen sich die Literaturwissenschaften kritischen Fragen stellen: Welche Relevanz haben philologi...

Posthuman Gothic is an edited collection of thirteen chapters, and offers a structured, dialogical contribution to the discussion of the posthuman Gothic. Contributors explore the various ways in which posthuman thought intersects with Gothic textuality and mediality. The texts and media under discussion – from I am Legend to In the Flesh, and from...

Look into the dark mirror of the Gothic text and you will become aware of the strange and uncanny aspects of familiar spaces. The twelve chapters in this collection are enquiries into the nature of Gothic spatiality, exploring Gothic spaces from Italy to Cornwall to small-town USA, looking at Gothic locations like the London suburbs and a remote mi...

Toni Morrison’s novels Beloved (1986) and Love (2003), although published at an interval of 17 years, share a common narrative approach towards the Female Gothic body as a symbol of corporeal violence. The female body has been at the centre of definitions of the Female Gothic since Ellen Moers coined the term in 1976, describing it as ‘the work tha...
