Gender and Sexuality in Latin American Horror Cinema explores the
different mechanisms and strategies through which horror films
attempt to reinforce or contest gender relations and issues of
sexual identity in the continent. The book explores issues of
machismo, marianismo, homosociality, bromance, among others through
the lens of horror narratives and, especially, it offers an
analysis of monstrosity and the figure of the monster as an outlet
to play out socio-sexual anxieties in different societies or gender
groups. The author looks at a wide rage of films from countries
such as Cuba, Peru, Mexico and Argentina and draws points of
commonality, as well as comparing essential differences, between
the way that horror fictions - considered by many as low-brow
cinema - can be effective to delve into the way that sexuality and
gender operates and circulates in the popular imaginary in these
regions.
