Women and Domestic Space in Contemporary Gothic Narratives

by Andrew Hock-Soon Ng, Dr Andrew Hock-Soon Ng, Dr, and A Soon

Published 14 January 2014

Moving away from traditional studies of Gothic domesticity based on symbolism, Soon instead focuses on domestic space's material presence and the traces it leaves on the human subjects inhabiting it. Approaching novels and films such as Beloved and The Exorcist , this study intersects psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and various spatial theories.
