Divided into three sections, the chapters apply a cultural criticism framework to examine how the first eight seasons of \u003ci\u003eAHS\u003c\/i\u003e engage with American history, our contemporary ideologies and social policies. Part I explores the historical context and the uniquely-American folklore that \u003ci\u003eAHS\u003c\/i\u003e evokes, from the Southern Gothic themes of \u003ci\u003eCoven\u003c\/i\u003e to connections between \u003ci\u003eApocalypse\u003c\/i\u003eand anxieties of modern American youth. Part II contains interpretations of place and setting that mark the various seasons of the anthology. Finally, Part III examines how the series confronts notions of individual and social identity, like the portrayals of destructive leadership in \u003ci\u003eCult\u003c\/i\u003e and lesbian representation in \u003ci\u003eAsylum\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHotel\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11318150\"\u003eCameron Williams Crawford\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland and Company, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476680613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476680612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER010110\"\u003eTelevision | Genres | Science Fiction, Fantasy \u0026amp; Horror\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCameron Williams Crawford\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer at the University of North Georgia in Gainesville.
