I Could Eat You Up: Cannibalism, Desire & Society in Horror Cinema with Katie Evans Cannibals are perhaps the most abject of all monsters, embodying one of our greatest taboos. The consumption of human flesh shakes our sense of security in the world, exposing the fragility of both our bodies and the structures we live within. From problematic representations of the ‘other’ to the suave cannibals who move amongst us – and even as embodiments of love and desire – these figures invite exploration through the lenses of psychoanalysis, feminism, and queer theory. Psychotherapist and horror lecturer Katie Evans will trace their evolution and reveal what they can teach us about our fears, our politics, our sexuality – and even acceptance.
