Tropical undead -- Tropical chills -- Social and political landscapes of the tropical gothic |
| Summary |
This volume examines the cultural forms of the Gothic in literature, film, and culture in the tropical and sub-tropical 'South' of the Americas. It is structured around geographical coordinates (from North to South) and moves between various national traditions of the Gothic (Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, etc.) alongside regional manifestations of the Gothic (the US south and the Caribbean) as well as transnational movements of the Gothic within the Americas. The reflections on national traditions of the Gothic in this volume add to the critical body of literature on specific languages or particular nations, such as Scottish Gothic, American Gothic, Canadian Gothic, German Gothic, Kiwi Gothic, and others. This book includes some of the top international experts working on Gothic literature and culture, all of whom engage in original and timely subjects from 'Tropical Gothic' texts in literature, popular fiction, film, TV, and video games |
