Seminar 6 - What is a monster?

For our next seminar we will explore what constitutes a monster, how it is repressed, represented and realised in society, culture and psychology.

Using Steven Schneider's article 'Monsters as (Uncanny) Metaphors: Freud, Lakoff, and the Representation of Monstrosity in Cinematic Horror' as a guide we will examine how the monster manifests itself in literature, film and culture.

A copy of the article, kindly suggested by Dr Maria Beville can be found here:

The seminar takes place on Thursday, April 11 at 5pm in T1.01 in the Tara Building, Mary Immaculate College. All are welcome!
