There is a precedent within the horror genre of film that allows the \u2018monsterification\u2019 of women, in particular with the language used to describe them. Often there are tropes or concepts that revolve around or are entirely dependent on violence against the female characters in the narrative, whether this is physical or \u2013 the focus of this research \u2013 linguistic. Words like \u2018hysterical\u2019, \u2018whore\u2019, \u2018witch\u2019, and \u2018siren\u2019 have become ingrained in popular culture\u2019s view of women, and have defined the categories in which they exist within the genre at large. Categories that have been defined by Australian academic Barbara Creed.
In Creed\u2019s text The Monstrous-Feminine: Film, Feminism, Psychoanalysis, she breaks down women in horror into 11 categories or stereotypes from witch and vampire to the vagina dentata and the uncanny creatrix. Creed\u2019s research is based on the work of Bulgarian-French theorist Julia Kristeva\u2019s theory of abjection to examine why there is such a fascination and revolution where women\u2019s bodies are concerned. All sections of Creed\u2019s text examine the dehumanization and abjection of women in horror, and the fear that accompanies it for men in particular. She examines the intersections of womanhood to look at the ways in which women are also victimized by the same narratives in which they are the monsters. Which takes us back to linguistic violence.
The goal of this research is to examine how linguistic violence became a part of the monstrous feminine, which has influenced the aesthetic of the \u2018dark feminine\u2019 and played a large part in popularizing the idea of \u2018feminine rage\u2019. I have chosen a selection of 12 films, and will be using the films themselves, reviews, ratings, and academic research from a broad spectrum of disciplines to examine the transition. This intersectionality is key to the field of film and cinema studies, and that is exemplified in my research. I pull from psychology, sociology, medicine, religion, anthropology, and history for my analysis, showing that film as a vehicle of study is, in addition to being easily and widely accessible for a vast majority of students, distinctly interdisciplinary in an incredibly unique way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
