{"product_id":"horror-fiction-in-the-global-ritwick-bhattacharjee-9789390077274","title":"Horror Fiction in the Global South: Cultures, Narratives and Representations","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorror Fiction in the Global South: Cultures, Narratives, and Representations\u003c\/i\u003e believes that the experiences of horror are not just individual but also\/simultaneously cultural. Within this understanding, literary productions become rather potent sites for the relation of such experiences both on the individual and the cultural front. It's not coincidental, then, that either William Blatty's \u003ci\u003eThe Exorcist \u003c\/i\u003eor Gabriel Garcia Marquez's \u003ci\u003eOne Hundred Years of Solitude\u003c\/i\u003e become archetypes of the re-presentations of the way horror affects individuals placed inside different cultures. Such an affectation, though, is but a beginning of the ways in which the supernatural interacts with the human and gives rise to horror. Considering that almost all aspects of what we now designate as the Global North, and its concomitant, the Global South - political, historical, social, economic, cultural, and so on - function as different paradigms, the experiences of horror and their telling in stories become functionally different as well. Added to this are the variations that one nation or culture of the east has from another. \u003cbr\u003eThe present anthology of essays, in such a scheme of things, seeks to examine and demonstrate these cultural differences embedded in the impact that figures of horror and specters of the night have on the narrative imagination of storytellers from the Global South. If horror has an everyday presence in the phenomenal reality that Southern cultures subscribe to, it demands alternative phenomenology. The anthology allows scholars and connoisseurs of Horror to explore theoretical possibilities that may help address precisely such a need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ritwick Bhattacharjee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9390077273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390077274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ritwick Bhattacharjee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460026085631,"sku":"9789390077274","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e84dc34-174c-423f-a709-410a573c6301.jpg?v=1777412964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/horror-fiction-in-the-global-ritwick-bhattacharjee-9789390077274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
