| book description |

A critical introduction to the ""Tropical Gothic"" genre in the visual arts, cinema and literature around the world This volume looks at the Tropical Gothic genre through the lens of Provence's own dark mythologies. As the birthplace of Nostradamus and a key node in colonial history, Provence, France can be located halfway between the Norse origins of the Gothic and its late 20th-century tropical reinvention. SPF 666: Gótico Provençal echoes the transgressive spirit of Tropical Gothic as a position from which to explore haunting specters such as environmental doom, the ghosts of colonialism and magical thinking, and the cultural responses to these phenomena. With essays and visual contributions from over 20 artists and writers, the book is the first to propose a global exploration of the Tropical Gothic genre in contemporary culture, from Manila to Bogotá via Arles.
