1	The room will set you free : A Feminist Reading of Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart Sandström, Veronica January 2012 (has links) The enclosed room is in classic Gothic novels closely connected to its female characters, and often works as a mean to suppress them. Clive Barker, however, while working within the Gothic genre, uses the enclosed room in novel ways in The Hellbound Heart, creating a type of Gothic female character that is different from the classical stereotype. By comparing the enclosed room and the female characters in Barker’s The Hellbound Heart to the classical model, in particular as represented by Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, this essay will show how Barker uses the room in a new way: he breaks away from the classic motif of the room as a means of female sexual oppression and instead depicts female characters taking charge of the room and therefore of themselves and their own sexuality.

4	Extreme horror fiction and the neoliberalism of the 1980s: Splatterpunk, radical art, and the killing of the collective society Michael R Duda (8837930) 14 May 2020 (has links) <p>Splatterpunk was a short-lived, but explosive horror literary movement birthed in the 1980’s that utilized graphic depictions of violence in its prose. Drawing parallels to other subversive and radical art movements like Dada and Hardcore Punk, this paper examines through a Marxist lens how Splatterpunk, influenced by the destructive nature of 1980’s neoliberalism, reflected the violence, categorized as direct and structural, of its period of creation and used extreme vulgarity as an act of rebellion against traditional horror canon.</p> Literature Marx/Marxism Punk Splatterpunk horror short story Horror Literature Horror Dada Clive Barker Neoliberal Reforms Neoliberalism Communism Socialism collectivism Ronald Reagan Stephen King
