Durante siglos, la narrativa gótica ha fascinado e inquietado al público a partes iguales, resolviendo misterios, explorando los traumas de sus protagonistas, enfrentándolos a lo monstruoso, o transportándolos a escenarios tan hermosos como amenazadores. Estos elementos, no obstante, no acaban en sí mismos: lo que nos incomoda, estremece o aterroriza también nos hace partícipes de una valiosa reflexión donde se abordan temas clave para la existencia humana, desde las dinámicas del poder, lo engañoso de las apariencias o los peligros que entraña un desarrollo científico-tecnológico sin referentes éticos. Este volumen recoge doce estudios de caso que abordan las transformaciones del género gótico en obras contemporáneas de ámbitos como el cine (Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, David Lowery), la literatura (Carmen Martín Gaite, Iris Murdoch), la novela gráfica (Manifest Destiny) o la ficción televisiva (Westworld, American Horror Story, Black Mirror, C.S.I.). Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar y multi-perspectivista, examinaremos el diálogo que se establece entre una selección de obras producidas en las últimas décadas y clásicos como Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson o Bram Stoker, entre otros. El resultado: la evidencia de que la sociedad cambia, pero el terror sigue siendo universal.
For centuries, Gothic narrative has both fascinated and unsettled audiences in equal measure—unraveling mysteries, delving into the traumas of its protagonists, confronting them with the monstrous, and immersing them in settings that are as beautiful as they are menacing. These elements, however, do not exist merely for their own sake: what disturbs, chills, or terrifies us also invites profound reflection on issues central to the human condition, from power dynamics and deceptive appearances to the ethical perils of unchecked scientific and technological progress. This volume brings together twelve case studies exploring the transformations of the Gothic genre in contemporary works across various media, including film (Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, David Lowery), literature (Carmen Martín Gaite, Iris Murdoch), graphic novels (Manifest Destiny), and television fiction (Westworld, American Horror Story, Black Mirror, C.S.I.). Adopting an interdisciplinary and multiperspectival approach, it examines the dialogue between recent productions and canonical figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Bram Stoker. The outcome is clear: while society evolves, the power of horror remains universal.
