Paradigms of Metarmorphosis and Transmutation: Thomas Edison's Frankenstein and John Barrymore's Jekyll and Hyde

我正在与威斯康星大学的杰伊·麦克罗伊教授共同编辑一本名为《怪物改编：恐怖电影中的类属和主题突变》的书(即将于2007年出版)，我还将为该书贡献一章，题为《变形与蜕变的范式：托马斯·爱迪生的科学怪人和约翰·巴里莫尔的杰基尔与海德》。这本书将在文化研究、恐怖研究、电影和媒体戏剧研究领域引起学者和学生的兴趣，甚至可能有一定程度的受欢迎程度。我自己的章节--基于我应邀在阿尔伯克基著名的大众文化会议(2006年2月)上向国际学者展示的研究--将分析两部早期恐怖片，它们在学术研究中被不幸忽视。作为我研究过程的一部分，我还将领导一些研讨会，研究情节剧和早期恐怖电影的表演实践，我将提供给格拉摩根大学的本科生、研究生，希望还有学术同行。

I am co-editing with Professor Jay McRoy (University of Wisconsin) a book entitled Monstrous Adaptations: Generic and Thematic Mutations in Horror Film for Manchester University Press (forthcoming 2007) for which I am also contributing a chapter entitled "Paradigms of Metamorphosis and Transmutation: Thomas Edison's Frankenstein and John Barrymore's Jekyll and Hyde". The book will be of interest to academics and students in the areas of cultural studies, horror studies, and film and media drama studies and may even have a degree of popular readership. My own chapter- based on research which I have been invited to present to international academics at the prestigious Popular Culture Conference in Albuquerque (February 2006)- will analyse two early horror films which have been woefully neglected in academic study. As part of my research process, I will also lead some workshops looking at the performance practice of melodrama and early horror cinema which will I will offer to undergraduate, postgraduate and, hopefully, academic colleagues at the University of Glamorgan.
