Focusing on the historical legacies and contemporary trends of folk horror across various geographical and industrial contexts of filmmaking, the symposium aims to facilitate an inquiry that unpacks social, cultural, and political meanings behind the current revival of the genre, and locates these meanings in local, national, regional and transnational settings of cultural production. Ranging from non-Anglophone histories of folk/paranormal horror, and the cross-cultural mobilities of the genre in various national and transnational contexts of film production, to the emerging issues of representation, identity politics, genre, style and inter-medial convergences of contemporary gothic narratives, the symposium will feature diverse methodological approaches to the study of folklore on screen by also intervening into the Anglo-American dominance of horror studies.
