Text Matters: A Journal of Literature, Theory and Culture, No. 6 (2016)
Issue 6 of Text Matters, entitled Gothic Matters and edited by Professor Agnieszka Soltysik Monnet (University of Lausanne), is a collection of essays that explore the relevance of the Gothic genre (and Gothic studies as such) in the first decades of the 21st century. Apart from the informative editorial, the main section contains thirteen scholarly texts that address topics as diverse as the reading of The Monk by M. G. Lewis and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein through the lens of the French Revolution, the EcoGothic analysis of Margaret Fuller's Summer on the Lakes, the notion of Imperial Gothic, the filmic representations of (dismembered) hands, the Gothic in postcolonial writing in the Philippines and the American pastoral tradition, the close ties between the Gothic, globalization and economic crisis (as aptly illustrated by Cormac McCarthy's The Road, as well as two films: Take Shelter and Winter's Bone), gender and genre hybridity in the Supernatural series, vampires (in American Indian myths and in Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive), and, finally, the juxtaposition of zombies with the Big Pharma. The volume also includes three texts gathered in the section appropriately named Intersections. They discuss the images of Trebizond and the Pontos in contemporary literature in English, allusions to Henryk Sienkiewicz's short story "The Lighthouse Keeper of Aspinwall" in "Through the Panama" by Malcolm Lowry, and liminality in Tony Harrison's poetry. The concluding section consists of three reviews (of Ann Radcliffe, Romanticism and the Gothic, edited by Dale Townshend and Angela Wright; Charles I. Armstrong's Reframing Yeats: Genre, Allusion and History; and Anna Pochmara's The Making of the New Negro: Black Authorship, Masculinity, and Sexuality in the Harlem Renaissance) and two interviews (with Bill Gaston and Uilleam Blacker).
