- More about Remaking the Monster: Transmedia Adaptations of Frankenstein’s Creature
In Remaking the Monster, Alissa Burger adopts an interdisciplinary approach to examine the continued influence of Frankenstein's Creature on popular culture, demonstrating through close readings the necessity of reconsidering its role and meaning as it has changed over time.
Since the Creature's introduction to the horror genre's canon, proliferating and evolving for over a century across a variety of media formats and genres, Burger posits that each new iteration of its appearance and impact encourages audiences to (re)consider critical questions about society and about ourselves. What are we capable of-both good and bad? What care, if any, do we owe to one another? And how might a monstrous appearance belie a deeper truth?
Ultimately, Burger argues, wherever and however the Creature appears, part of its innate function-and perhaps, the key to its perennial resonance with audiences-is found in the approachable opportunity to engage with daunting concepts of life and death, choice, agency, and, above all, what it means to be human.
