In particular, the 1970s, 80s and 90s are seen as decades that shaped a great deal of the contemporary cultural landscape. Television of this period dominated the world of childhood entertainment, drawing freely upon literature and popular culture, like the <em>Garbage Pail Kids</em> and <em>Stranger Things</em>, and much of it continues to resonate powerfully with the generation of cultural producers (fiction writers, screenwriters, directors, musicians and artists) that grew up watching the weird, the eerie and the horrific: the essence of 21st-century Hauntology. In these terms this book is not about childrens television as it exists now, but rather as it features as a facet of memory in the 21st century.</p><p>As such it is the legacy of these television programmes that is at the core of <em>Horrifying Children</em>. The haunting of adults by what we have seen on the screen is crucial to the study. This collection directly addresses that which scared us in the past insomuch as there is a correlation between individual and collective cultural memory, with some chapters providing an opportunity for situating existing explorations and understandings of Gothic and Horror TV within a hauntological and experiential framework.</p>...4521619Horrifying Children19172130https://www.gandhi.com.mx/horrifying-children-9781501390555/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4113837/image.jpg?v=638443274721800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781501390555_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_<p><strong><em>Horrifying Children</em> examines weird and eerie childrens television and literature via critical analysis, memoir and autoethnography.</strong></p><p>There has been an explosion of interest in the impact of childrens television and literature of the late twentieth century.
