horror studies

Horror Studies / 공포서사연구 ELC754-00Horror is a cliché of genre conventions: gothic fiction, the slasher movie, biography of a serial killer. Instead of treating horror solely as spectacle, this course approaches horror primarily as an anthropological phenomenon. We consider the psychological conditions of horror in societies ancient and modern, from the separation of oikos and polis in ancient Athens - and "the birth of tragedy" - to the lockdown society of Covid 19. We trace horror through the Enlightenment (Descartes, Spinoza, Kant), Romanticism (Thomas De Quincey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge), the Industrial Revolution (Marx and Engels), existentialism (Sartre, Thomas Ligotti) and cinema (David Lynch, Jordan Peele, Jonathan Glazer).Credits: 3Professor: Jason BarkerLocation: Kyung Hee University, College of Foreign Language & Literature, Global CampusStart/end date: 1 March/30 June 2024For all enquiries please email the Department of British & American Language and Culture (Graduate School):
