But the changes that occur during that transformation aren''t just physical; they are psychological as well. Unremarkable men become domineering leaders. Innocuous men become violent and overtly sexual. In films from \u003ci\u003eThe Wolf Man\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAn American Werewolf in London\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eGinger Snaps,\u003c\/i\u003e when the protagonists become werewolves, their perceptions of their gender and their masculinity or femininity change dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This volume explores how werewolves in cinema have provided an avenue for frank and often enlightening conversations about gender roles and masculinity. Werewolves are indeed a harbinger of change, but the genre of werewolf cinema itself has changed over time in how different styles of masculinity and different gender identities are portrayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Racial Dynamics of Werewolf Cinema 29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Saga of Larry Talbot 39\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pre–1960s Werewolf: A Stranger Within Me 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 1960s and 1970s: Realizing the Power Within 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 1980s Onward: The End of the Tragic Masculine and the Embrace of Power 73\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder Siege: The Wolf Outside the Door 104\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnemy, Mother, Lover, Object: Women in Werewolf Cinema 114\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion 153\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilmography 159\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes 161\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks Cited 167\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex 169\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040404930903,"sku":"9781476666389","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476666389.jpg?v=1750946641","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-and-werewolf-cinema-9781476666389","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
