Vampires who suck human blood, werewolves who harass tourists in London or Paris, zombies who long to feast on our brains, or Godzilla, who is famous in and outside of Japan for destroying whole cities at once. Regardless of their monstrosity, all of these creatures are figments of the human mind and as real as they may seem, monsters are and always have been constructed by human beings. In other words, they are imagined. How they are imagined, however, depends on many different aspects and changes throughout history. The present volume provides an insight into the construction of monstrosity in different kinds of media, including literature, film, and TV series. It will show how and by whom monsters are really created, how time changes the perception of monsters and what characterizes specific monstrosities in their specific historical contexts. The book will provide valuable insights for scholars in different fields, whose interest focuses on either media studies or history." $c Dust jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Monsters $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Monsters in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Horror films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Monsters in literature. 650 0 $a Horror in literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror plays $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror in music $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Horror in mass media $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Monsters in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025762 650 7 $a Monsters in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01025760 650 7 $a Horror films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960370 650 7 $a Horror in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960376 650 7 $a Horror in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960378 650 7 $a Horror in music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960379 650 7 $a Horror plays. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960380 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Bernardi, Verena, $e editor. 700 1 $a Jacob, Frank, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031706.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E632BCC177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
