Thesis (M.A.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2013.

This thesis argues that body horror, and the cinematic representation of the mutated body in particular, allows us to experience our bodies as Other and allow us to confront and transcend the constraints of socially constructed notions of normalcy. In order to accomplish this, I investigate films that concern the mutated and mutating body in the 1930s and 1940s. The case studies I employ are Cat People (Jacques Tourneur, 1942), Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Rouben Mamoulian, 1931) and Freaks (Todd Browning, 1932). These films provide very different representations of the mutating body, which encourage different kinds of identifications between the characters onscreen and the spectator. I investigate the shifting relationship between the mutated body as symbolic, performative and as an actual confrontation with the body as Other. Using this model, I designate Cat People as a symbolic representation, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as iconic and Freaks as indexical.
