The result is a collection of intriguing and provocative thoughts on deeper questions prompted by the creepy side of the human imagination. As an anthology show, <em>American Horror Story</em> has a unique structure in the horror genre because it explores distinct subgenres of horror in each season. As a result, each season raises its own set of philosophical issues. The shows first season, <em>Murder House</em>, is a traditional haunted house story. Philosophical topics expounded here include: the moral issues pertaining to featuring a mass murderer as one of the seasons main protagonists; the problem of other mindswhen I see an old hag, how can I know that you dont see a sexy maid? And whether it is rationally justified to fear the Piggy Man. Season Two, <em>Asylum</em>, takes place inside a mid-twentieth-century mental hospital. Among other classic horror subgenres, this season includes story lines featuring demonic possession and space aliens. Chapters inspired by this season include such topics as: the ethics of investigative reporting and whistleblowing; personal identity and demonic possession; philosophical problems arising from eugenics; and the ethics and efficacy of torture. Season Three, <em>Coven</em>, focuses on witchcraft in the contemporary world. Chapters motivated by this season include: sisterhood and feminism as starkly demonstrated in a coven; the metaphysics of traditional voodoo zombies (in contrast to the currently fashionable infected zombies); the uses of violent revenge; and the metaphysics of reanimation. Season Four, <em>Freak Show</em>, takes place in a circus. Philosophical writers look at life under the Big Top as an example of life imitating art; several puzzles about personal identity and identity politics (crystallized in the two-headed girl, the bearded lady, and the lobster boy); the ethical question of honor and virtue among thieves; as well as several topics in social and political philosophy. Season Five, <em>Hotel</em>, is, among other disturbing material, about vampires. Chapters inspired by this season include: the ethics of creating vampire progeny; LGBT-related philosophical issues; and existentialism as it applies to serial killers, Season Six, <em>Roanoke</em>, often considered the most creative of the seasons so far, partly because of its employment of the style of documentaries with dramatic re-enactments, and its mimicry of <em>The Blair Witch Project</em> and <em>Paranormal Activity</em>. Among the philosophical themes explored here are what happens to moral obligations under the Blood Moon; the proper role of truth in storytelling; and the defensibility of cultural imperialism.</p>...9780812699746_Open Courtlibro_electonico_bd393eb5-5018-3d89-a92b-3a93a1588ea4_9780812699746;9780812699746_9780812699746InglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ingram50-epub-45fac56e-c1d2-48ce-bcfb-01e42484616c.epub2017-12-12T00:00:00+00:00Open Court
