In this house... we read Free Indirect: The Novel in a Postfictional Age by Timothy Bewes with Jon Greenaway aka also known as TheLitCritGuy. What can a novel do? How can it 'think'? What does this all have to do with posting and low-budget Canadian analog horror? Music by BIG|BRAVE

I am joined today by Jon (thelitcritguy) to talk about a new interesting category he deems Gothic Marxism. Jon did his PhD in Gothic literature, and with this approach, we find out what this 'Gothic Marxism' really is.

In this episode with Jonathan Greenaway (Theology, Horror and Fiction: A Reading of the Gothic Nineteenth Century & The Horror Vanguard podcast) we arrive at the New Flesh while peeling back the layers of a nightmarish society in stasis. We get into: necro-neoliberalism, depressive hedonia, unspent energy mutating into a gothic maw, our struggle to be and remain human, nostalgia neutralizing hope/fear instead of bringing us closer to history, the internet as a profoundly haunted and haunting device, Paul tells a dumb story about seeing Beyond the Black Rainbow on acid and the glorious weirdness of "Titane" Jon Greenaway is an academic, writer and teacher based in the North of England. He's currently working on a PhD that focuses on philosophy, theology and the gothic literature of the nineteenth century. He's also behind @TheLitCritGuy, a social media project that aims to bring critical and cultural theory away from it's academic enclave and to the widest possible audience. He writes for a variety of publications online and blogs at thelitcritguy.com. He tweets @thelitcritguy. Find Jon on Youtube at Jon the Lit Crit Guy Theology, Horror and Fiction: A Reading of the Gothic Nineteenth Century Surpassing scholarly discourse surrounding the emergent secularism of the 19th century, Theology, Horror and Fiction argues that the Victorian Gothic is a genre fascinated with the immaterial. Through close readings of popular Gothic novels across the 19th century – Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Dracula and The Picture of Dorian Gray, among others – Jonathan Greenaway demonstrates that to understand and read Gothic novels is to be drawn into the discourses of theology. Despite the differences in time, place and context that informed the writers of these stories, the Gothic novel is irreducibly fascinated with religious and theological ideas, and this angle has been often overlooked in broader scholarly investigations into the intersections between literature and religion. Combining historical theological awareness with interventions into contemporary theology, particularly around imaginative apologetics and theology and the arts, Jonathan Greenaway offers the beginnings of a modern theology of the Gothic.

A Podcast explaining what #Postmodernism and Postmodernity are featuring Jon (also known as TheLitCritGuy) a writer and academic. In this podcast, we debunk some common myths about "postmodernism" and contrast two different ways of looking at what postmodernism is. One being postmodernism as a historical socio-cultural epoch and 2: Postmodernism as a theoretical style/tendency. We go primarily over thinkers such as Fredric Jameson (author of "Postmodernism: The Culture of Late Capitalism" , Jean François Lyotard (Author of "The Postmodern Condition") and a little about Derrida and Foucault (who are often misleadingly associated with being "post-truth"). Postmodernism and its related concepts such as #Hauntology, Parody vs Pastiche, #latecapitalism, and the death of the metanarrative.

Today’s special episode is in two parts. In the second, I am joined by my friend, literary scholar and co-host of the Horror Vanguard podcast, Jon TheLitCritGuy. (He also makes YouTube videos!) It is SUCH a great interview! But first, a story to begin exploring the question I’m pondering right now: What does Halloween signify in this time? A time of pandemic. Of nihilism. Of violent state repression. Of darkness and anxiety. Of ghosts of the things we’d rather not think about. Inside the Text presents, “The Masque of the Red Death,” by Edgar Allan Poe.

This week we're going full occult with Jon Greenaway also known as TheLitCritGuy, host of the Horror Vangaurd podcast.

This time we bring on Jon aka "The Lit Crit Guy" to talk about the concept of Gothic Marxism, how horror can reveal underlying social pathologies, and the use (or lack thereof) of theory in politics writ large. You can find his Horror Vanguard podcast here. We had a couple unfortunate technical snags, but the audio is mostly fine. Enjoy!

On this most terrifying Halloween episode, we are joined by the Lit Crit Guy (@TheLitCritGuy) for a discussion of Gothic Marxism, zombie neoliberalism, horror movies, and more! What is Gothic Marxism and how is it useful for understanding the horrors of capitalism? How do the stories a society scares itself with reflect its material concerns? Consumerist zombies and aristocratic vampires; Elizabeth Bathory has nothing on Peter Thiel. The dialectical tension between Goth and punk. Can this backward-looking aesthetic ever be harnessed in service of proletarian liberation, or is Jamie being a reactionary hypocrite when she dresses like a witch and listens to Joy Division? The crew finishes things out with takes on the movies Mandy, Hereditary, and First Reformed (warning: contains spoilers). Happy Hallowe'en, you dirty commies!!!

Hey guys, we are back this week with a deep dive into Gothic Literature!  The Gothic casts a long, dark, and creepy shadow over modern horror and has spawned many sub-genres and reinterpretations.  Specifically, we are going to be discussing the "New American Gothic" and how the 1979 film The Amityville Horror breathes new life into Gothic themes.
