| Extra Info | : | An online talk with Barbara Creed Barbara Creed’s The Monstrous-Feminine (1993) remains a seminal text in the field of gender and cultural studies, used by film critics and feminists alike to (psycho)analyse depictions of feminine sexuality in cinematic and cultural texts. In 2022, Creed revisited the subject of her earlier work, examining the depiction of the ‘monstrous-feminine’ in a range of new films over the last two decades, alongside shifts in feminist discourse since the original publication of her landmark text. The Freud Museum is delighted to welcome Barbara Creed in dialogue (online) with Perry Hughes discussing the depiction of femininity and female sexuality in horror cinema, and the relevance of psychoanalysis and the work of Freud in assisting critical and cultural analysis. |
