{"product_id":"the-metamodern-slasher-film-steve-jones-9781399520959","title":"The Metamodern Slasher Film","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is commonly proposed that since the mid-2000s, the slasher subgenre has been dominated by unoriginal remakes of \"classics\". Consequently, most original slasher films have been ignored by academics (and critics), leaving the field with a limited understanding of this highly popular subgenre. This book corrects that mischaracterisation by analysing contemporary slasher films that sincerely attempt to innovate within the subgenre. I argue that these films reflect broader cultural turns towards sincerity, optimism in the face of crisis, and an emphasis on felt experience that are indicative of a metamodern sensibility. This is the first book to use metamodernism to analyse film in a sustained way, and the first academic work to use metamodernism to examine horror. \u003ci\u003eThe Metamodern Slasher\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers new ways to understand the slasher film, the horror genre, and also the cultural moment we find ourselves in. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399520954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399520959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Steve Jones","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44810003939583,"sku":"9781399520959","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a8849c1-40fb-4650-bd1b-561efd5eee44.jpg?v=1707928066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-metamodern-slasher-film-steve-jones-9781399520959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
