In Urban Horror Erin Y. Huang theorizes the economic, cultural, and
political conditions of neoliberal post-socialist China. Drawing on
Marxist phenomenology, geography, and aesthetics from Engels and
Merleau-Ponty to Lefebvre and Ranciere, Huang traces the emergence
and mediation of what she calls urban horror-a sociopolitical
public affect that exceeds comprehension and provides the grounds
for possible future revolutionary dissent. She shows how
documentaries, blockbuster feature films, and video art from China,
Hong Kong, and Taiwan made between the 1990s and the present
rehearse and communicate urban horror. In these films urban horror
circulates through myriad urban spaces characterized by the
creation of speculative crises, shifting temporalities, and
dystopic environments inhospitable to the human body. The cinematic
image and the aesthetics of urban horror in neoliberal
post-socialist China lay the groundwork for the future to such an
extent, Huang contends, that the seeds of dissent at the heart of
urban horror make it possible to imagine new forms of resistance.
