Face/Mask: Negation in the Flesh Negation masks identity horror films Curator's Note In most scholarship on the modern horror film, namely the slasher cycles of the 70s/80s and late-90s/2000s, great importance is placed on the mask of the killer as a ...
Dana, this is something my dissertation is working on as well. The collapse of the mediated experience into the experience itself is prominent in occult belief systems re: technology. In the ghost hunting shows I'm writing about, a very large portion ...
I'd like to understand that point just a bit further as well. Understandably the format of 350 words is limiting. Additionally, building on that idea, I wonder if you could speak to the "occult" aspect of this, expounding on the problems of ...
One thing that strikes me about the ways in which we both discuss and utilize native ritual in popular culture is that the practices themselves are often occulted. One thing which causes a large amount of controversy within Native American communities is ...

I've largely avoided the weird neoconservative responses to GamerGate, but I was aware of Sommers because it was widely shared among supporters of GamerGate. Frankly, I find the whole ordeal with her (and others, like Adam Baldwin) extremely bizarre. ...
I was talking to my Intro to Film students about this earlier today, so I apologize if it's too on the nose, but I think it's worth mentioning in terms of erasure and representation of blackness as set up by Kishonna and the comments of John and ...
