Monsters and the Monstrous is
a biannual peer reviewed global journal that serves to explore the
broad concept of “The Monster” and “The Monstrous” from a multifaceted
inter-disciplinary perspective.
The journal publishes work that seeks to
investigate and assess the enduring influence and imagery of monsters
and the monstrous on human culture throughout history.
In particular,
the journal will have a dual focus with the intention of examining
specific ‘monsters’ as well as evaluating the role, function and
consequences of persons, actions or events identified as ‘monstrous’.
The history and contemporary cultural influences of monsters and
monstrous metaphors will also be examined.
Perspectives are sought from those
engaged in the fields of literature, media studies, cultural studies,
history, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, health and
theology. Ideas are welcomed from those involved in academic study,
fictional explorations, and applied areas (e.g. youth work, criminology
and medicine).
