The meaning of monsters, vampires and ghosts has changed significantly over the last two hundred years, as have the mechanisms (from fiction to fantasmagoria, film and video games) through which they are produced and consumed. Limits of horror, moving from gothic to cybergothic, through technological modernity and across a range of literary, cinematic and popular cultural texts, critically examines these changes and the questions they pose for understanding contemporary culture and subjectivity.Re-examining key concepts such as the u 606 $aGothic revival (Literature)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror tales$xHistory and criticism 610 $aGothic horror. 610 $aabjection. 610 $acultural production. 610 $acybergothic. 610 $adeath drive. 610 $afantasmagoria. 610 $asublime. 610 $aterror. 610 $auncanny. 610 $avideo games. 615 0$aGothic revival (Literature)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror tales$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.38738 700 $aBotting$b Fred$0169017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791949903321 996 $aLimits of horror$93694655 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03689nam 22009375 450 001 9910954431003321 005 20240508214902.0 010 $a9786612743108 010 $a9781282743106 010 $a1282743104 010 $a9780230251045 010 $a0230251048 024 7 $a10.1057/9780230251045 035 $a(CKB)2670000000035685 035 $a(EBL)578883 035 $a(OCoLC)608024880 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000418864 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12127380 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000418864 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10378013 035 $a(PQKB)10069906 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001618633 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16349015 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001618633 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14920623 035 $a(PQKB)11112444 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-230-25104-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC578883 035 $a(Perlego)3503618 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000035685 100 $a20151130d2009 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Gothic, Postcolonialism and Otherness $eGhosts from Elsewhere /$fby T.

It engages with the problems of representing 'difference' in lucid conceptual terms, with much attention to primary texts, and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of colonial discourses as well as postcolonialist attempts to 'write back.' While providing rich readings of Conrad, Kipling, Melville, Emily Brontė, Erna Brodber, Jean Rhys and others, it offers new perspectives on Otherness, difference and identity, re-examines the role of emotions in literature, and suggests productive ways of engaging with contemporary global and postcolonial issues. 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aFiction 606 $aAsia$xHistory 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aModern History 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aAsian History 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aAsia$xHistory. 615 14$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aAsian History. 676 $a823.08729 700 $aKhair$b Tabish$0705091 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954431003321 996 $aThe Gothic, Postcolonialism and Otherness$94331463 997 $aUNINA
