Performativity of Villainy and Evil in Anglophone Literature and
Media studies the performative nature of evil characters, acts and
emotions across intersecting genres, disciplines and historical
eras. This collection brings together scholars and artists with
different institutional standings, cultural backgrounds and
(inter)disciplinary interests with the aim of energizing the
ongoing discussion of the generic and thematic issues related to
the representation of villainy and evil in literature and media.
The volume covers medieval literature to contemporary literature
and also examines important aspects of evil in literature such as
social and political identity, the gothic and systemic evil
practices. In addition to literature, the book considers examples
of villainy in film, TV and media, revealing that performance,
performative control and maneuverability are the common
characteristics of villains across the different literary and
filmic genres and eras studied in the volume.
