Conclusion - The Battle of Purposes

Laura Westengard writes of the "ongoing battle of purposes" in Gothic media between queer representation and neoliberal assimilation. Perhaps as much as any other conflict in the game, this battle of purposes plays out in the game's writing with its emphasis on post-queer visibility, while also policing the boundaries of an acceptable neoliberal status quo. In my conclusion, I examine this conflict as it struggles against the rich language of monstrosity and its subversive potential.   Citation Time Stamps  0:45 - 2:07 Westengard 179-180 5:32 - 5:35 Stryker, "My Words..." 248 7:36 - 7:53 Pocket Leaves, Feb 11, 2024 7:54 - 8:08 Figuring Out Fantasy, Feb 17, 2024 15:41 - 15:47 Westengard 104 Full List of Sources https://littlemondaywrites.libsyn.com/sources Little Monday on Medium https://medium.com/@littlemonday Special Thanks To - Glen Eastman who voices both Frankenstein and the Monster.
