About the Book

This collection represents a sample of the proceedings of the 5th Annual Fear, Horror and Terror: At the Interface Conference, held at Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom in September, 2011. The volume has been organised around three 'fearful symmetries,' reflecting tensions running throughout the conference regarding how fear is configured with sameness/otherness, power/powerlessness and voice/voicelessness. Contributors explore these symmetries from a range of disciplinary perspectives, from a psychological inquiry into how fear is involved in acquiring cultural competence, to a classicist review of ancient Greek concepts of pleasurable and stupefying horror, to a visual artistic consideration of the silencing terror manufactured post-9/11. The collection's relevance lies not only in the ways in which authors interrogate fearful histories, but also in how they take up the contemporary context, in which our understandings of fear, horror and terror have been so altered as to immeasurably mark our personal and political thinking.
