Katarzyna Ancuta A Landscape with a Slaughterhouse in the the Background. Horror or the Art of Meat     Summary The presented article reconsiders contemporary Horror in terms of a MEATaphor, that is a metaphor of meat. The article draws on Modem Horror's fascination with such themes as the body, flesh, carnality, physicality, monstro­sity, mutation, or bio-technology, all of which being, in fact, the representation of meat. Due to its interest in the human body, always treated instrumentally, Modem Horror has been frequently referred to as "meat-horror." The article examines the "meat" content of Modem Horror and the argument is divided into three parts discussing the notions of meat as food, meat as flesh, and meat as the abject female body respectively. The first part is concerned with meat consumption (including human meat) and centres on a number of cannibalistic themes of both explicit and implicit nature. The second part touches on the questions of carnality and sexuality, as well as anatomy and bodily transformations, and generally refers to the sphere of human biology. Finally, the third part concentrates on the images of the female body as the abject territory for both men and women. It evaluates Modem Horror texts from a gender perspective discussing the notion of the monstrous feminine and deconstructing anorexia nervosa.

Katarzyna Ancuta The Things We Do For Love. Jeffrey Dahmer and Cannibal Love Culture The article explores the romantic face of cannibalism. where the act of devouring human flesh is deconstructed as the ultimate expression of love. It focuses on the issue of love cannibalism and the romanticised myth of the loving cannibal. which has been functioning as a successful cultural metaphor since the 1990s. The article sets love cannibalism in the broader context of necrophilia, understood both in terms of a sexual disorder and a morbid fascination with the subject of love in death, Finally, it compares the romantic representation of cannibalism in contemporary texts to the similarly romantic depiction of AIDS, the infection which is treated as equivalent with taking control of the lover's body. The core of the article is the discussion of two criminal cases – Jeffrey Dahmer's and Issei Sagawa's -which serve to illustrate the relationship between love cannibalism and necrophilia. The argument is further expanded to examine various representations of necrophilia and love cannibalism in contemporary literature and film.
