About :
In the author's lecture course "Areas of Darkness: Horror as a Cultural Phenomenon" together with the artist and researcher Ruslan Polanin we will talk about horror from the point of view of concept, philosophy and aesthetics. Analyzing horror in different directions of art and media, we will try to shed light on the dark areas of this genre. In the second lecture of the course the main topic will be the question: how and why does modern philosophy turn to horror. We will get acquainted with the theory of the fantastic and trace its relationship with the genre of supernatural horror, and also consider the interest of philosophers of the new wave of speculative realism in the latter. We will analyze how representatives of the "dark" currents of philosophy made horror a tool for cognition and analysis of fundamental questions. Particular attention will be paid to some examples from popular culture, including cinematography, on the basis of which philosophers develop their ideas. Ruslan Polanin is a contemporary artist, sound artist, sociologist of art. In his artistic works, he addresses the ideas of new mythology, occult knowledge, historical memory, examining them through the prism of horror aesthetics.
