Fear, Horror and Terror
The Fear, Horror and Terror Project: 10th Global Meeting
Call for Presentations 2016
Friday 9th September - Sunday 11th September 2016
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom
Fear, Horror and Terror can be seen as the defining experiences and
political tools of modernity, shaping public spaces, discourse, and popular
culture. This is the era of the 'War on Terror', in which terror is
politically, culturally, even racially defined. We are constantly
confronted with, consuming, and discussing media images of horror, both
fictional and factual. This year's 10th interdisciplinary Fear, Horror and
Terror conference explores the production and dissemination these concepts
and experiences as a political, cultural, and media commodity. We invite
participants to consider questions such as:
~ How fear, horror, and terror manifest in everyday life, popular culture,
fiction, society, communities and politics?
~ How experiences or images produced by/about fear, horror and terror shape
or direct the way we understand the world?
~ What are the underlying power structures that determine how and why
representations of fear, horror and terror are disseminated, and to whom?
~ How can we communicate, contain and overcome the effects and consequences
of fear, horror and terror?
Themes and related areas:
1) The production and dissemination of Fear, Horror and Terror: the
relationship between images and experiences; the experiences and role of
the witness; journalistic, political, and professional communications.
2) About Fear, Horror and Terror: narratives, definitions,
interdisciplinary studies, cross cultural comparisons; embodiment and
comparison with different emotions/experiences; constructions and
deconstructions; theories, methods and philosophies
3) Contexts of Fear, Horror and Terror: case studies of cultural contexts;
crime and punishment, discipline and order, control and power;
professionals and the public e.g. therapists, clergy, lawyers, law
enforcement, policy makers, human resources representatives, etc.
4) The experience of Fear, Horror and Terror: emotional responses;
recreational or aesthetic approaches; the sensory experience; the
unexpected absence/invisibility of fear horror and terror
5) Representations and mediations of Fear, Horror and Terror: images,
cinema, television, theatre, the fourth estate and the creative arts;
survival and/or horror video games; literature (including children's
stories, and graphic novels); documentary and 'reality' television; the
internet, social media, and mobile communications
6) Physical manifestations of Fear, Horror and Terror: space, place,
architecture and tools; ceremony, performance and ritual; war,
militarisation, weapons, engineering and technology.
