"La Petit Mort: Erotics and Aesthetics in Nosferatu," forthcoming in Proteus.
December 1st, 2020
The winner of the Rutgers Comparative Literature Paper of the Year, this paper explores how death is eroticized and aestheticized in F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu. Through metaphorical reading, intertextual reference, comparative analysis, the paper gives a comprehensive and in-depth reading of the film. It reveals that the shadow of death is linked to the eroticization of female bodies as well as the ephemeral nature of cinematograph. As a work of art in a mechanical age, the film not only shows the aestheticization of death but also performs such a dying process in its very medium of representation.
