| description | This paper aims to explore how technological cultural objects in Asian horror films convey the general fear of modernity. Interpretative content analysis is used to analyse manifest content and latent meaning for ten Asian horror films that were randomly selected to examine the meanings and uses of these objects and technology found in horror film. This will allow for understanding of the extent how the meaning of technology as symbolic cultural objects might have been interpreted and changed in relation to modernity. Also, it would be significant to examine and reflect on the impact of technology in our social lives, its importance in the modern and how social theories on technology and culture coincide with horror film media. |
