Hello Mareike, I am currently working on a paper on The Silence of the Lambs and took out a book from my library called Subversive Pleasures by Robert Stam. Inside, there is a chapter entitled The Grotesque Body and Cinematic Eroticism. I have not yet read the book so I am unsure if this will help you but I thought I would mention it. Hope it helps! ~Joe >>>>>>>>At the moment I am planning a project that concerns the study of the grotesque in film. I am trying to assess how the term 'grotesque' is used within the discipline of film studies and in which contexts, but I have great difficulties in obtaining relevant studies on the topic. Any suggestions?>>>>>>>> * * * * *** Film-Philosophy Email Discussion Salon. After hitting 'reply' please always delete the text of the message you are replying to.
