The 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. 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 for those that want it. 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.
