Global Horror: Hybridity and Alterity in Transnational Horror Film is an anthology textbook that challenges students to reconsider horror films through the lenses of transnational cinema, evolving technologies, and decolonial approaches to the genre. As such, the book aims to increase our awareness of horror film histories across vast geographies while examining existential questions about difference, war, and the future of life on this planet.
This textbook is divided into two parts, organized by theme and geographic range. Part One includes six reprinted essays speaking on established subjects—German Expressionism, vampires, zombies, science fiction, and more—from established modes of horror film scholarship, including feminist scholarship and critique of Blaxploitation horror. Part Two includes two reprinted essays on J-horror and Korean horror film and six chapters of original writing that explore understudied areas of the genre, including Middle Eastern horror film, Indian horror film, Latin American horror film, and Indigenous (North American) horror film.
A timely and complex exploration of the genre through the lens of contemporary social issues, Global Horror is an ideal textbook for courses and programs in film and cinema studies.
