Screening the Gothic in Australia and New Zealand : Contemporary Antipodean Film and Television, Hardback Book

Screening the Gothic in Australia and New Zealand : Contemporary Antipodean Film and Television Hardback

Edited by Jessica Gildersleeve, Kate Cantrell

Part of the Horror and Gothic Media Cultures series

Hardback

Description

The persistent popularity of the detective narrative, new obsessions with psychological and supernatural disturbances, as well as the resurgence of older narratives of mystery or the Gothic all constitute a vast proportion of contemporary film and television productions.

New ways of watching film and television have also seen a reinvigoration of this ‘most domestic of media’.

But what does this ‘domesticity’ of genre and media look like ‘Down Under’ in the twenty.first century?

This collection traces representations of the Gothic on both the small and large screens in Australia and New Zealand in the twenty.first century.

It attends to the development and mutation of the Gothic in these post. or neo.colonial contexts, concentrating on the generic innovations of this temporal and geographical focus.
