- W4317828306 abstract "This chapter examines how depictions of women’s violence in twentieth- and twenty-first-century settings literalize the grotesque social legacies of plantation slavery. This chapter thereby mobilizes Julia Kristeva’s and Barbara Creed’s theories of abjection and horror to reframe the grotesque nature of US and Caribbean societies through various imaginings of the “monstrous-feminine.” To do this, the chapter begins with more obvious performances of women as abject monsters, such as in the third season of the television show <italic>American Horror Story</italic> (“Coven” 2013–14). Then, the chapter demonstrates how the novels <italic>Unburnable</italic> by Marie-Elena John (2006) and <italic>Memory Mambo</italic> by Achy Obejas (1996) use the vocabularies of abjection to show how such violence is symptomatic of colonial, post-colonial, and neo-colonial societies at large. All these texts use the vocabularies of abjection as horror to depict violence between women as rivals or lovers, and each text draws on narratives about popular monstrous figures, such as witches, voodoo practitioners, zombies, and vampires." @default.
