Monstrous Possibilities
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-12843-1 (ISBN)
Amanda Howell is an expert on contemporary American cinema, television, and screen cultures, her research focusing on gender, genre, and screen aesthetics. She is the author of A Different Tune: Popular Film Music and Masculinity in Action (2015), which explores the way that contemporary screen representations of masculinity combine American cinema's long-standing investment in violence-as-spectacle with similarly body-focused pleasures of contemporary youth music, to produce audio-visual representations of male difference. Lucy Baker received her doctorate from the School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences at Griffith University, Australia, in 2018, where she teaches across fields of sociology, cultural and media studies. Her research focuses primarily on adaptations, gender, and fans; her work has been published in journals including Continuum, Journal of Girlhood Studies, and The Journal of Fandom Studies.
