项目摘要

This doctorate project proposes to investigate the meaningful parallels between folk/fairy tales and the horror film, both ofwhich provide accessible narrative frameworks through which a culture mediates its norms, values, and popularanxieties. This secondary research will take full advantage of the wonderful Cambridge Centre for Film and Screen aswell as the valuable folklore resources at the Haddon library, and will fall loosely into two categories: * First, it willaddress the common formal attributes between fairytales and horror films, including flat/archetypal characterisations,meta-fictionality, and the symbolism of magical objects. It will also highlight the common receptive contexts for eachgenre, such as how Anderson's theory of self-correcting folklore can be applied to horror franchises. * Secondly, it willinvestigate the important social and cultural contexts of both horror cinema and folk/fairytales. These involve a commoninvolvement in rites of initiation, the communication of moral taboos, and the expression of popular phobias. This projectbuilds on the recent popularity of folk-horror theory, but expands it in vital and necessary ways; and investigates theimportant theoretical claim that the folk narrative is not lost alongside pre-literature cultures, but rather survives inmodern media filmic reincarnations that maintain the vital social function and instrumentality of folklore and fairytales.

这个博士项目建议调查民间/童话故事和恐怖电影之间有意义的相似之处，这两者都提供了可接触的叙事框架，通过这一框架，一种文化调解其规范、价值观和流行焦虑。这项二次研究将充分利用精彩的剑桥电影和银幕中心以及哈登图书馆宝贵的民俗资源，大致分为两类：*首先，它将解决童话和恐怖电影之间的共同形式属性，包括平面/原型特征、元虚构和魔术对象的象征意义。它还将突出每一种类型的共同接受背景，例如安德森的自我修正民俗理论如何应用于恐怖系列。*其次，它将调查恐怖电影和民间/童话故事的重要社会和文化背景。这些包括共同参与入会仪式，传播道德禁忌，以及表达流行的恐惧症。这个项目建立在最近流行的民间恐怖理论的基础上，但以重要和必要的方式扩展了它；并调查了一个重要的理论主张，即民间叙事并没有与前文学文化一起消失，而是在现代媒体电影的转世中存活下来，这些转世保持了民间传说和童话故事的重要社会功能和工具性。
