Although it is recognised that body image is significant to
understanding fundamental issues of ageing and identity, research
pertaining to older adults' body image is scarce, and there is no
specific measure with which to assess body image satisfaction among
older adults. In this book, we describe a progressive five-stage
research project conducted to address this issue, beginning with
the formulation of a novel multidimensional integrative model of
body image and the subsequent development and validation of a
quantitative scale to assess body image satisfaction in older
adulthood. The newly developed Body Image Scale for Older Adults
(BIS-OA) provides a tool to further the understanding of older
adults' body image and its relationship with other variables
related to one's quality of life. This, in turn, can inform
policy-makers and professionals working with older adults to assist
in the formulation of preventative as well as therapeutic
interventions to help older adults develop a positive body image
and enhance their quality of life.
This book focuses on how the abject spectacle of the 'monstrous
feminine' has been reimagined by recent and contemporary screen
horrors focused on the desires and subjectivities of female
monsters who, as anti-heroic protagonists of revisionist and
reflexive texts, exemplify gendered possibility in altered cultures
of 21st century screen production and reception. As Barbara Creed
notes in a recent interview, the patriarchal stereotype of horror
that she named 'the monstrous-feminine' has, decades later,
'embarked on a life of her own'. Focused on this altered and
renewed form of female monstrosity, this study engages with an
international array of recent and contemporary screen
entertainments, from arthouse and indie horror films by emergent
female auteurs, to the franchised products of multimedia
conglomerates, to 'quality' television horror, to the social
media-based creations of horror fans working as 'pro-sumers'. In
this way, the monograph in its organisation and scope maps the
converged and rapidly changing environment of 21st century screen
cultures in order to situate the monstrous female anti-hero as one
of its distinctive products.
