Ymchwil
Breuddwydion, Vampires and Ghosts: Anthropological Perspectives on the Sacred and Psychology in Film and Television (yn y wasg ac i'w chyhoeddi gyda Bloomsbury ym mis Awst 2023).
Gan dynnu o theori gymdeithasol ac anthropoleg crefydd, mae'r llyfr hwn yn archwilio diddordeb y cyfryngau poblogaidd â breuddwydion, fampirod, cythreuliaid, ysbrydion ac ysbrydion. Mae Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts yn gwneud hynny yng ngoleuni astudiaethau animistaidd cyfoes o gymdeithasau lle mae pobl eraill-na-ddynol nid yn unig yn ffynhonnell adloniant, ond yn realiti cymdeithasol byw. Mae rhaglenni ffilm a theledu a archwiliwyd yn cynnwys Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Truly Madly Deeply a ffilmiau Hitchcock. Mae Louise Child yn tynnu sylw at sut maen nhw'n darlunio ac yn herio syniadau ac arferion sydd wedi'u gwreiddio mewn seicoleg, tra bod teledu o safon hefyd wedi swyno ton o raglenni a all archwilio rhyngweithio cymeriadau mewn bydoedd cymdeithasol cymhleth dros amser. Yn ogystal â thynnu ar ddamcaniaethau ffilm o seicoleg Freudian a theori ffeministaidd, Mae Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts yn defnyddio dulliau sy'n deillio o gyfuniad o astudiaethau ac anthropoleg Jungian sy'n cynnig mewnwelediadau newydd ar gyfer archwilio ffilm a theledu. Mae'r llyfr yn tynnu sylw at ffyrdd eglur a chynnil y mae naratifau sinematig yn ymgysylltu â myth a chrefydd ac ar yr un pryd yn archwilio dimensiynau cyfunol i fywyd cymdeithasol a phersonol. Mae'n datblygu datblygiadau newydd mewn astudiaethau genre a rhywedd yn ogystal â chyfrannu at y maes sy'n tyfu Crefydd ymhlyg gan ddefnyddio dadansoddiadau manwl o freuddwydio cyfathrebol, cariadon cysgodol a chyfriniol mewn ffilm a theledu.
