Diving Into Filmmaking: Contemporary Horror Films and the Normalization of LGBTQA+ Characters
Focus Research Paper
Judith Butler’s critical theory book, “Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity,” identifies that the construct of the gendered body allows the consequences of sex to be set in place. Gendered representation physically is a performance put on by the social constructs created around each ‘defined’ gender. (Female/Male) Butler aims to break away the ties between sex and gender to allow flexibility to relax in. The idea of identity as free and flexible and gender as a performance, not an essence, is one of the foundations of Queer Theory.
Using this as the foundational element of research, Kim deepens the intellectual look at Queer Horror and how the women of Horror have the ability to represent the LGBTQA+ community in a positive light.
Kim presented their research at the 28th St. Francis Writer's Conference in 2019.
