It does so by analyzing the politics of reproduction in contemporary films such as \u003ci\u003eEx Machina; Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; Mad Max: Fury Road; the Twilight saga\u003c\/i\u003e; and the original \u003ci\u003eAlien \u003c\/i\u003equadrilogy and its more recent prequels, \u003ci\u003ePrometheus \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Alien: Covenant\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Sunny Hawkins argues that films which promote a “monstrous philosophy” of qualitative, affirmative difference as difference-in-itself, and which tend to be more molecular than molar in their expressions, can help us trace a “line of flight” from the gender binary in the real world. \u003ci\u003eDeleuze\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethe Gynesis of Horror \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how the techniques of horror film – editing, sound and visual effects, lighting and colour, camera movement – work in tandem with a film’s content to affect the viewer’s body in ways that disrupt the sense of self as a whole, unified subject with a stable, monolithic identity and, in some cases, can serve to breakdown the binary between self\/Other, as we come to realize that we are none of us static, categorizable beings but are, as Henri Bergson said, “living things constantly becoming.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223406334296,"sku":"9781501369322","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501369322.jpg?v=1777203934","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/deleuze-and-the-gynesis-of-horror","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
