In Gothicka, Victoria Nelson identifies the revolutionary turn it has taken in the twenty-first. Today's Gothic has fashioned its monsters into heroes and its devils into angels. It is actively reviving supernaturalism in popular culture, not as an evil dimension divorced from ordinary human existence but as part of our daily lives. To explain this millennial shift away from the traditionally dark Protestant post-Enlightenment Gothic, Nelson studies the complex arena of contemporary Gothic subgenres that take the form of novels, films, and graphic novels. She considers the work of Dan Brown and Stephenie Meyer, graphic novelists Mike Mignola and Garth Ennis, Christian writer William P. Young (author of The Shack), and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. She considers twentieth-century Gothic masters H. P. Lovecraft, Anne Rice, and Stephen King in light of both their immediate ancestors in the eighteenth century and the original Gothic-the late medieval period from which Horace Walpole and his successors drew their inspiration. Fictions such as the Twilight and Left Behind series do more than follow the conventions of the classic Gothic novel. They are radically reviving and reinventing the transcendental worldview that informed the West's premodern era. As Jesus becomes mortal in The Da Vinci Code and the child Ofelia becomes a goddess in Pan's Labyrinth, Nelson argues that this unprecedented mainstreaming of a spiritually driven supernaturalism is a harbinger of what a post-Christian religion in America might look like. 606 $aGoth culture (Subculture)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGothic fiction (Literary genre)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGothic revival (Literature)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror comic books, strips, etc$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror tales$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpirituality in literature 615 0$aGoth culture (Subculture)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGothic fiction (Literary genre)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGothic revival (Literature)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror comic books, strips, etc.$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror tales$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpirituality in literature. 676 $a700/.415 700 $aNelson$b Victoria$01475775 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791937303321 996 $aGothicka$93690083 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01913nam0 2200421 i 450 001 VAN0053364 005 20240214101149.630 010 $a978-35-402-2360-3 100 $a20060926d2004 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aDE 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aGeometric aspects of functional analysis$eIsrael seminar 2002-2003$fV.
