Wade. At the time, her class was in the middle of studying the 1968 horror film \u003ci\u003eRosemary’s Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, which led Johnson to an epiphany: horror cinema engages directly with the combustible politics of women’s rights and the despotic atmosphere in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eScream with Me\u003c\/i\u003e reveals with intellect and empathy how classics like \u003ci\u003eRosemary’s Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Exorcist\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e expose and critique issues of reproductive control, domestic violence, and patriarchal oppression. These films, beloved by horror fans, show with blood and terror the sinister nature of gender roles, the isolation of domesticity, and the ever-present threat lurking in the shadows behind our own thresholds. Here, Johnson weaves these iconic films into the fabric of feminism, revealing that true horror lies not in rare situations and the supernatural but in the familiar confines of the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile celebrating seminal horror films, Johnson also encourages us to wrestle intimately with the surface scares to understand the deeper messages at play. \u003ci\u003eScream with Me\u003c\/i\u003e is an unflinching and timely recognition of the power of this genre to shape and reflect cultural dialogues about gender and autonomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841637339372,"sku":"9781668222942","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7a788e3a43dc927525df16965fdd8dcd.jpg?v=1758754143"},{"product_id":"waste-and-the-wasters-by-eleanor-johnson-9780226830179","title":"Waste and the Wasters","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA groundbreaking examination of ecological thought in medieval England.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the scale of today’s crisis is unprecedented, environmental catastrophe is nothing new. \u003cem\u003eWaste and the Wasters\u003c\/em\u003e studies the late Middle Ages, when a convergent crisis of land contraction, soil depletion, climate change, pollution, and plague eclipsed Western Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a culture lacking formal scientific methods, the task of explaining and coming to grips with what was happening fell to medieval poets.
