Open Day MA Horror and Transgression
 
Do please let your students know about our open day on 11th May at our Kedleston 
Road campus, room S310. 
2-4pm MA Humanities, MA Horror and Transgression, and PhD opportunities.
 
            The University of Derby’s new MA Humanities – Horror and 
Transgression is an innovative postgraduate course in film, literature and 
cultural studies offering the opportunity to work both critically and 
creatively. Drawing on the expertise of internationally renowned practicing 
writers and critics, the themes of Horror and Transgression explores   what our 
limits consist of and the boundaries of culture and society. Through the 
analysis of culture we understand what defines us collectively and individually 
as humans and what is beyond the human. The course has the support of horror 
writer Clive Barker who is planning to be involved, saying ‘Thank you for 
Raising Hell in Derby!’
 
            This MA is international and transnational in scope, including work 
on cinema and literature in the East and world cinema. This would suit all of 
those interested in  diverse forms of film and literature, with the option of 
creative coursework. It also suits those interested in philosophical and 
literary theoretical developments from Nietzsche to Bataille, Foucault, 
Kristeva, and Deleuze and transgressive writers, such as Burroughs, Ballard and 
Burgess.
 
 ‘The UK has always had a rich history of horror, and a time when a new 
generation of British horror practioners are making interesting and provocative 
work, The University of Derby's MA in Horror and Trangression looks to be an 
important step forward in further establishing the genre as a rich source of 
social, political and cultural significance.’
 
Steve Shiel, director of critically acclaimed Brit-Horror feature Mum & Dad as 
well as one of the organisers of the Mayhem Horror Film Festival
