Månljus, menstruation och maskulinitet : En analys av kön och varulvsförvandlingar i moderna ungdomsfilmer.
Sammanfattning: In this essay I explore modern mythmaking surrounding werewolves, with focus on what werewolves are made to represent in two modern teen movies, Ginger Snaps and Teen Wolf. Within the themes bodily transitions and the new self the movies are explored mainly through Julia Kristeva’s concept of the abject as understood by Erin Flaherty, Jennie Olofssons and Elizabeth Grosz’s understanding of leakage and Reawyn Connell’s model of hegemonic masculinity. I find that the narrative of werewolf transformations is employed to emphasize and exaggerate themes of femininity, masculinity and puberty already present in popular narratives of adolescence.
