The Woman, the Queer, the Monster: Decolonial Approaches to the Other in "Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant"
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
This article applies decolonial constructions of queer sexuality and a critical view of the philosophical Other to analyze the woman-vampire in the French-Canadian horror-comedy film "Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant" (2023). By elaborating on the inherent queerness of the vampire’s status as monster and reading the film’s neutral stance on vampirism, the politic of exclusion central to the horror-genre is critically examined as a product of colonialism, and the film is presented as a decolonial addition to the genre.
