Torturers, horror films, and the aesthetic legacy of predation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 August 2006
Abstract:
A Rousseauist bias towards the study of human aggression has treated it as a regrettable anomaly rather than a volatile reflection of important forces in human evolution. Intrepidly, Nell displays the arc of connection between predation in humans and other animals and the neurophysiological factors that underlie chronic interest in accident, death, and harsh force.
