{"name":"When the Woman Screams","short_name":"When the Woman Screams","theme_color":"#ffffff","start_url":"/","display":"standalone","background_color":"#fff","description":"Popular thinking is that women scream in horror films because it is an inherently misogynistic media genre; that women are screaming because they are being terrorized. But this reading fails to account for any complexity of female emotions and experiences. While women do scream because they are afraid, they also scream in anger, grief, or simply to be heard. This public humanities podcast project examines the evolution of the female scream in horror films and explores the cultural underpinnings that potentially explain these shifts.\n\nSeason one consists of five episodes centered on horror films from the United States. Each episode covers a particular type of scream and considers what that scream suggests about the political and social context in which it was created. This season covers Hagsploitation, Sexual Harassment, Maternal Grief, Coded Queerness, and Post-Trump Anger. \n\nThis is not a podcast about women being victimized. This is a podcast about women surviving and I hope you’ll scream with me.","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/9909615/Screen-Shot-2020-04-05-at-84112-AM-300x30061tq1_300x300.png","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
