Aestheticization of evil is a frequently used formula in cinema and
television. However, the representation of evil as an aesthetic
object pushes it out of morality. Moral judgments can be pushed
aside when evil is aestheticized in movies or TV series because
there is no real victim. Thus, situations such as murder or war can
become a source of aesthetic pleasure. Narratives in cinema and
television can sometimes be based on a simple good-evil dichotomy
and sometimes they can be based on individual or social experiences
of evil and follow a more complicated method. Despite the various
ways evil is depicted, it is a moral framework in film and
television that must be researched to study the implications of
aestheticized evil on human nature and society. International
Perspectives on Rethinking Evil in Film and Television examines the
changing representations of evil on screen in the context of the
commonness, normalization, aestheticization, marginalization,
legitimization, or popularity of evil. The chapters provide an
international perspective of the representations of evil through an
exploration of the evil tales or villains in cinema and television.
Through looking at these programs, this book highlights topics such
as the philosophy of good and evil, the portrayal of heroes and
villains, the appeal of evil, and evil's correspondence with gender
and violence. This book is ideal for sociologists, professionals,
researchers and students working or studying in the field of cinema
and television and practitioners, academicians, and anyone
interested in the portrayal and aestheticization of evil in
international film and television.
