  • NVS 2-2-14 Announcements
    Announcements: CFPs, conference notices, & current & forthcoming projects and publications of interest to neo-Victorian scholars (compiled by Marie-Luise Kohlke & Sneha Kar Chaudhuri ) ***** NOTE: Beginning with the fourth issue of Neo-Victorian Studies (to be published summer 2010), we are inviting brief 1-2 paragraph reports from organisers or participants of recent international symposia, conferences and/or conference sessions, which specifically addressed neo-Victorian issues. NVS is especially keen to publish reports on events outside Europe and North America, to facilitate a more comprehensive overview of neo- Victorian scholarship worldwide. CFPs: Journals, Special Issues & Collections Neo-Victorian Gothic: Horror, Violence, and Degeneration in the Re-Imagined Nineteenth Century (Edited Collection) Contributions are invited for the third volume in the forthcoming Neo- Victorian Studies series by Rodopi. This collection will explore the subversive potential, but also the ideologically conservative implications, of recycling the Gothic genre in contemporary historical fiction, film, and further aesthetic media that re-imagine the nineteenth century in Britain, its colonial territories, and other geographical settings. In her recent study of Gothic postmodernism, Maria Beville argues that it is terror which constitutes “the potent link between the gothic and the postmodern” (Gothic-postmodernism , 2009). Perhaps, then, neo-Victorianism might be said to revive the spirit of terror in order to link our postmodern “culture of death”, our obsession with terror and even with terrorism (Baudrillard, Symbolic Exchange and Death , 1993), back to the angst-ridden uncertainties occasioned by Victorian socio-political and cultural metamorphoses. What is the purpose of the contemporary revival of the nineteenth-century fascination with the irrational, the mysterious and the monstrous, and what questions does it raise for subjectivity and/or ontology? To what extent is Neo-Victorian Studies 2:2 (Winter 2009/2010) pp.

  • Screams on Screens: Paradigms of Horror
    Screams on Screens: Paradigms of Horror Barry Keith Grant Brock University [email protected] Abstract This paper offers a broad historical overview of the ideology and cultural roots of horror films. The genre of horror has been an important part of film history from the beginning and has never fallen from public popularity. It has also been a staple category of multiple national cinemas, and benefits from a most extensive network of extra-cinematic institutions. Horror movies aim to rudely move us out of our complacency in the quotidian world, by way of negative emotions such as horror, fear, suspense, terror, and disgust. To do so, horror addresses fears that are both universally taboo and that also respond to historically and culturally specific anxieties. The ideology of horror has shifted historically according to contemporaneous cultural anxieties, including the fear of repressed animal desires, sexual difference, nuclear warfare and mass annihilation, lurking madness and violence hiding underneath the quotidian, and bodily decay. But whatever the particular fears exploited by particular horror films, they provide viewers with vicarious but controlled thrills, and thus offer a release, a catharsis, of our collective and individual fears. Author Keywords Genre; taboo; ideology; mythology. Introduction Insofar as both film and videogames are visual forms that unfold in time, there is no question that the latter take their primary inspiration from the former. In what follows, I will focus on horror films rather than games, with the aim of introducing video game scholars and gamers to the rich history of the genre in the cinema. I will touch on several issues central to horror and, I hope, will suggest some connections to videogames as well as hints for further reflection on some of their points of convergence.

  • Film Genre and Its Vicissitudes: the Case of the Psychothriller 1
    FILM GENRE AND ITS VICISSITUDES: THE CASE OF THE PSYCHOTHRILLER 1 Virginia Luzón Aguado Universidad de Zaragoza This paper is the result of an exploration into the contemporary psychothriller and its matrix genre, the thriller. It was inspired by the lack of critical attention devoted to this type of film, so popular with the audience yet apparently a thorn in the critics' side. The main aim of this paper is therefore to contribute a small piece of criticism to fill this noticeable gap in film genre theory. It begins with a brief overview of contemporary film genre theory, which provides the background for a vindication of the thriller as a genre and specifically of the psychothriller as a borderline sub-generic category borrowing features from both the thriller and the horror film. When I first started work on this paper I realised how difficult it was to find theoretical material on the thriller. Certain genre critics actually avoided the term thriller altogether and others mentioned it but often seemed to be either unsure about it or simultaneously, and rather imprecisely, referred to different types of films, such as detective films, police procedural films, political thrillers, courtroom thrillers, erotic thrillers and psychothrillers, to name but a few. But the truth of the matter is that "the thriller" as such has rarely been analysed in books or articles devoted to the study of genre and when it has, one can rarely find anything but a few short paragraphs dealing with it. Yet, critical work devoted to other acknowledged and well-documented genres such as melodrama, comedy, film noir, horror, the western, the musical or the war film is easily accessible.

    A Variety of Thrills Thrillers and different ways of approaching them K.A. Kamphuis, 3654621 Semester 2, 2012-2013 January 25 2013 J.S. Hurley Film Genres, Thrillers Abstract Thriller is a broad genre. This genre is constructed by the use of different people involved in the movie process; the producers and advertisers, critics and consumers. They all have different reasons to call a thriller a thriller. I did a discourse analysis on three movies to see whether the use of the term “thriller” is used by all this parties in the same way and how this will construct the genre. The three movies in that are analysed are The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Black Swan (2010) and Hide and Seek (2005).
