Hong Kong vampire films: anxious imaginings of death and illness.
Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies. Oct2022, Vol. 36 Issue 5, p776-790. 15p.
Much of the scholarship on the Hong Kong vampire film has analysed the genre as a type of ghost film, conflating the form of the vampire creature with the concept of the ghost. This paper takes a different approach in analysing the Hong Kong vampire film as a distinct genre. The vampire has a special physicality that is resurrected after death; it is an embodied entity that resembles a human and has developed through a cross-fertilization of Eastern and Western ideas. I explore the genre's complexity in three ways. Firstly, I analyse its characteristics and cultural sources, placing emphasis on the Chinese vampire that provides the template for the Hong Kong form. Secondly, I examine Hong Kong vampire films through the lens of the imagining of rebirth in the funeral culture of Chinese Taoism. Thirdly, I consider the 'metaphor of illness' and the theme of identity crisis. Exploring films from the 1980s and 1990s, this paper shows how Hong Kong people found a way to reimagine rebirth and resurrection aside from the representation of ghosts. Furthermore, it analyzes how the genre represents the anxiety of the collective unconsciousness prior to the 1997 handover of Hong Kong. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Browning's Dracula and the development of the classical screen vampire: genre, form, and figure.
Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies. Apr2021, Vol. 35 Issue 2, p205-219. 15p.
Dracula (Browning, 1931) introduces the general parameters of the classical screen vampire narrative of the 1930s and 1940s; a drawing-room murder mystery. In this investigative 'drama of proof', the murderer, already known to the audience, is a vampire who has inserted himself between a young engaged couple, seeking the woman for himself. The classical vampire protagonist is an unreflecting figure driven by a craving for both the young woman of his desire and for human blood as sustenance. The inevitable death of the vampire represents a triumph of 'life', marriage understood as the basic unit by which community reproduces itself, playing out a Freudian (and romantic) opposition between the erotic instinct and the aggressive instinct or death drive. The classical screen vampire narrative does not remain static. Two key developments in the classical period are considered: non-vampires masquerading as vampires and the vampire problematizing their own relationship with vampirism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
