Snuff - Real Death and Screen Media (Hardcover): Neil Jackson, Shaun Kimber, Johnny Walker, Thomas Joseph Watson Snuff - Real Death and Screen Media (Hardcover)
Neil Jackson, Shaun Kimber, Johnny Walker, Thomas Joseph Watson
R4,966 Discovery Miles 49 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The phenomenon of so-called 'snuff movies' (films that allegedly document real acts of murder, specifically designed to 'entertain' and sexually arouse the spectator) represents a fascinating socio-cultural paradox. At once unproven, yet accepted by many, as emblematic of the very worst extremes of pornography and horror, moral detractors have argued that the mere idea of snuff constitutes the logical (and terminal) extension of generic forms that are dependent primarily upon the excitement, stimulation and, ultimately, corruption of the senses. Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media brings together scholars from film and media studies to assess the longevity of one of screen media's most enduring cultural myths. Thorough, provocative, and well argued, the contributions to this volume address areas ranging from exploitation movies, the video industry, trends in contemporary horror cinema, pornography and Web 2.0.
