Topics in Film and Television Analysis: Flesh and Blood

Catalog description

Once considered low and marginal, the horror genre is an integral component of todays popular media culture with the formerly reviled and exiled revenant (the animated corpse) now part of the family of stock characters routinely encountered on film and TV, the internet and gaming world. This course explores the cultural and psychological implications of the current fixation on post-apocalyptic scenarios and the return of the dead.
