This book shows how the horror genre has adapted itself to the transformation of contemporary American politics and the mutating role of traditional and new media in the era of Donald Trump's Presidency of the United States. Exploring horror's renewed potential for political engagement in a socio-political climate characterised by the angst of civil conflict, the deception of `alternative facts' and the threat of nuclear or biological conflict and global warming, Make America Hate Again examines the intersection of film, politics, and American culture and society through a bold critical analysis of popular horror (films, television shows, podcasts and online parodies), such as 10 Cloverfield Lane, American Horror Story, Don't Breathe, Get Out, Hotel Transylvania 2, Hush, It, It Comes at Night, South Park, The Babadook, The Walking Dead, The Woman, The Witch and Twin Peaks: The Return. The first major exploration of the horror genre through the lens of the Trump era, it investigates the correlations between recent, culturally meaningful horror texts, and the broader culture within which they have become gravely significant. Offering a rejuvenating, optimistic, and positive perspective on popular culture as a site of cultural politics, Make America Hate Again will appeal to scholars and students of American studies, film and media studies, and cultural studies. 650 0 $a Horror films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror films $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Popular culture $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Polarization (Social sciences) $x Political aspects $z United States. 600 10 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $x Influence. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017- 600 17 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00174117 700 1 $a McCollum, Victoria, $e editor. 830 0 $a Cultural politics of media and popular culture 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=360B54405D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
