The UK has a long history of horror and it has become
increasingly popular and more acceptable over the past few decades. The MA in
Horror and Transgression will examine diverse forms of horror and transgression
internationally. Those interested in philosophy and theoretical views and
analyses will get a rich source of knowledge from the course, examining
theories such as those of Julia Kristeva, Georges Bataille, Michel Foucault and
Gilles Deleuze among others.
When undertaking the MA in Horror and Transgression you will
not only explore varied approaches in Humanities but you will also be able to
develop your own unique skills and investigate your own interests within the
field of horror and transgression. There is opportunity to take your research
project in a variety of disciplines including English Literature; Theatre, Media
or Film studies; Creative writing and American Studies.
This new innovative course at Derby University allows the
student to examine their research both critically and creatively using the international
expertise of valued writers and academics. Aided by current published
researchers you will be able to develop knowledge of your chosen field of
research.
The
themes of Horror and Transgression explore what our limits consist of and the
boundaries of culture and society.
(Derby University Website, MA
in Horror and Transgression)
We have an understanding of the ‘norm’ and when this line of
the ‘norm’ is crossed we have transgression. Crossing the limits of set
boundaries within society; whether they are moral or social, can cause many
problems for the established standard of behaviour. We analyse culture to
understand what is ‘human’ and what is ‘not human’.
One aspect I am particularly excited about is the fact that
the course has the backing of the great horror writer and director Clive
Barker (Hellraiser,
Dread). Anyone interested in Horror in any form would enjoy this course.
The course is available to study one year full time or two years
part time. I have applied to start this September and I am eagerly awaiting an
Interview.
Please take a look at the course. If you love horror in any
form, this is the right course for you.

Now, yes – there will be some people that you’ll find plain ol’ difficult to mesh with. It could be your roommate, a kid down the hall, or somebody you randomly bumped into on campus.
