I think of posting short digests of my past and present research here and there in the future. So mostly about #HistoryOfIdeas, #PoliticalHistory and #GameStudies. Maybe also some #PirateStudies and #HorrorStudies.

A new #HorrorStudies is upon us! And someone has finally written about the sublimely ridiculous UNDER PARIS! (Thanks Kaja Franck) Also THE TERROR and MARBLE HORNETS series, legacy sequel PSYCHO II, and Dreyer's VAMPYR.

NightTide Magazine presents Meeting of the Morbid Minds: The Horror of Becoming, a two-day virtual symposium dedicated to the rigorous, creative study of horror. Across keynotes, talks, and panels, we’ll examine the transformation of the self, the body, the community, and the universe, through four subgenres that reshape how we think about fear and existence.

NightTide Magazine presents Meeting of the Morbid Minds: The Horror of Becoming, a two-day virtual symposium dedicated to the rigorous, creative study of horror. Across keynotes, talks, and panels, we’ll examine the transformation of the self, the body, the community, and the universe, through four subgenres that reshape how we think about fear and existence.

Themes we’ll explore:
The Monstrous Mind: Psychological Horror and the Fear of the Self: Madness, trauma, perception, and the instability of the human psyche.
Folk Horror and the Fear of the Outsider: Community, ritual, isolation, and the friction between tradition and modernity.
Cosmic Horror and the Limits of Comprehension: Vastness, dread, and the curse of knowing too much.
Body Horror and the Politics of Transformation: Mutation, autonomy, identity, sexuality, and technological intrusion.

Why NightTide?
NightTide champions rigorous horror analysis and elevates diverse voices—scholars, critics, and creators who interrogate folklore, fear, and transformation in culture. This symposium brings that mission into a live, shared space for collective thinking.
