FILM 266 - Genre: Horror


1 unit(s)
(Same as ASIA 266 ) This course examines contemporary Asian horror. Using a variety of critical perspectives, we will deconstruct the pantheon of vampires, monsters, ghosts, and vampire ghosts inhabiting such diverse regions as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines to explore constructions of national/cultural identity, gender, race, class, and sexuality. We will ground these observations within a discussion of the nature of horror and the implications of horror as a trans/national genre. Ms. Harvey.

Prerequisites: FILM 175  or FILM 210 , and permission of the instructor.

Not offered in 2015/16.

Two 75-minute periods, plus outside screenings.
