Hello fellow horror fans and academics! I'm creating a course syllabus and I would like your help to make it more international. Please recommend any horror film NOT in English dealing with Questioning Reality (eg. paranoia, gaslighting, hallucinations, insanity) , Breaking Reality (eg. cosmic horror, possession) or Accepting Reality (eg. Trauma, Return of the Repressed). These can be from any country, decade and subgenre. I'm also accepting films that are not strictly horror but can be read through a horror lense in this context. I'm also accepting recommendations for journal articles or other scholarly texts.

Thank you!

(I'm very consciously using the term "insanity" here to differentiate real word mental illnesses from how film approaches mental illness as a source and agent of horror)

i just know he got assigned to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy in his high school English class and went on to become obsessed with all McCarthy’s books

as a side note he also religiously listens to MeatCanyon and Wendigoon’s podcast CreepCast while doing homework

Oh, fuck. The canvas notifications are coming in. The semester that starts on Monday is becoming real and I haven’t even decorated my August bujo monthly page or started my master syllabus yet. YIKES 😬

If college is supposed to be so serious then why do they ask us to read the sillybus

You know, a Kaiju, a poem with 21 syllabuses, usually with a word describing the seasoning?

I don’t know, I never took a calculus class. . . I think it’s calculus? Derivatives are definitely from calc.

CW: Christianity, homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia

Hi hi! So a couple of years ago, I started listing down all of the resources that helped me to go from being a non-affirming/queerphobic Christian to being a queer and queer-affirming Christian (oops lol). I'm now putting this reading list/syllabus out there in case anyone else might find it helpful (you know, in the spirit of the commons and "from each according to their ability"). The reading list is free to download, and feel free to distribute and to modify it as you like.

There are other better lists of resources out there, but what motivated me to put together my own reading list was that in my own journey towards becoming queer-affirming, I found that for me to reconcile Christianity and queerness, it was necessary to reconstruct my understanding of God's character, my understanding of how to read the Bible, as well as my understanding of the nature and history of Christianity. In short, being anti-queer rested on a number of other assumptions and beliefs.

As such, this reading list not only addresses the matter of how to interpret the few Bible verses related to being gay or trans, but hopes to help the reader envision a worldview in which being queer-affirming is just the obvious choice. For example, there are resources about the theology of sin and judgement, the theology of systemic oppression, the theology of children, and more.

I know that for some people, changing their minds to affirm queer people can be as simple as realizing that love is love, but for the stubborn and systematically-minded people like me, I hope this reading list can be of benefit. And, whoever you are (queer or not, queer-affirming or not, Christian or not), I hope that this list may help you to remember that you yourself are so so loved 🏳️‍🌈
