Speaking of monstersa teratological anthology /[electronic resource] :edited by Caroline Joan S. Picart and John Edgar Browning. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource (xvi, 326 p.) :ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

General Theories of Monstrosity -- Gender and Monstrosity -- Teratologies of Nationality and Race -- Queer Theory and Boundary Crossings -- Criminology, Law and Teratologies: Between the Real and the Reel -- Science, Nature and the Mechanical: The Human-Animal-Machine Divides -- In Between Fear and Desire -- Teratologies and Ethics.

Despite its apparently monolithic definition, 'teratology' (from the Greek word teras, meaning 'monster,' and the Latin logy , which is derived from the Greek logia , meaning 'a speaking, discourse, treatise, doctrine, theory, science') seems infinitely malleable, flourishing in various rhetorical environments. Teratologies are more than a bestiary: a catalogue of 'freaks' designed to celebrate the 'normal.' Rather, teratologies illustrate how humor, horror, fantasy and the 'real' cross-fertilize each other, resulting in the possibility of new worlds, ethics, and narratives, emerging. As a general anthology of teratologies, this book simply maps what, in many ways, has already been occurring across several fields, as it tracks the expansion of this term, creating lacunae that form connections across multiple interpretive communities. It is a cross section of how "monster narratives" intersect with "outsider" positions, from different perspectives - such as those of literary critics, film critics, criminologists, law professors, historians, philosophers - and looks into various strategies of destabilizing normative binaries.
