Recs if you like The Monstrous-Feminine: Film, Feminism, Psychoanalysis...

where gender and film studies intersect

(disclaimer: i haven’t read all of these but plan to, always open to feedback from those who have read these or have other suggestions!)

Nonfiction books about the mechanics, psychology, and other aspects of the horror genre.

Recommendations are always welcome!

... or pop culture leaning.

Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...

Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage 🥹

I mean I feel like this one is pretty self explanatory. cannibalism that happened in real life NOT true crime (mostly)

specifically looking at the horror genre in terms of cinema

recommendations welcome!

All things take place across space and time. Bodies as a geography Emotional geographies Cultural geography I fucking love geography

Books about the horror genre from an academic lens because we need more of those!!

books about the treatment of female characters (and celebrities) in media, how they are written, handled , perceived, and a bit on what it is like to be a female fan

A list of psychoanalytic theory books, from Freud to Kristeva, Butler to Leader.

The list specifically focuses on psychoanalysis in relation to interpreting literature, the arts, and culture, not actual psychology.

I don't endorse (nor am I an expert in) all the views presented, but it's an interesting niche of theory which has a great influence on culture.
