How Hysterical reads scenes from the films Light It Up, Three Kings, Remember the Titans, Paris is Burning, Boys Don't Cry, and Magnolia alongside biblical texts from Numbers, Exodus, Isaiah, Micah, Ezekiel and Revelation . An innovation in studies on Bible and film, How Hysterical is less centred on direct citation of the Bible in film than on analyses of hypostasized biblical influence in culture. Here, through accessible engagement with feminist, queer, post-colonial and ideological critical theories, Runions discusses the processes by which biblical and filmic texts can both bolster and disrupt identifications with the norms that drive politics and culture.
