Old Times in Werewolf of London
Sigmund Freud, \"Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality\" Introduction FILMS ABOUT MEN WHO TURN INTO ravening wolves are ripe for an approach to the horror genre, pioneered by Robin Wood, that sees the films staging a return of the repressed, eruptions (in the case of werewolf films) of primal carnality that must be contained and eradicated before the societal status quo can be restored and reaffirmed (Wood 7-22). Richard Dyer notes that decades after theorists stopped believing this, notions of \"in-betweenism\" continue to inform both how gays are characterized in popular culture texts, such as films, and how some gay men characterize themselves (Dyer with Pidduck 33-37; Dyer 30-37).

Fearless Children and Fabulous Monsters: Angela Carter, Lewis Carroll, and Beastly Girls
Angela Carter's various revisions of \"Little Red Riding Hood\" laid open the violent, alluring, and often distressing reality of adult sexuality. Although the relationship between Carter's stories and the earlier tale has been analyzed, relatively little attention has been paid to the figure of Lewis Carroll's Alice in her work on \"Little Red Riding Hood.\" Here it is argued that Alice is an important figure in and that Carroll's work is a vital intertext to Carter's short story \"Wolf-Alice\" and the film Company of Wolves.

Of German Fräuleins, Nazi Werewolves, and Iraqi Insurgents: The American Fascination with Hitler's Last Foray
Many aspects of the German-American encounter during the Second World War remain deeply engraved in the American mind. One of them is the story of the German “werewolves,” Hitler's last underground fighters, who challenged the occupying armies in the war's closing months. The werewolf threat made a lasting impression on American troops and media at the time, and on American collective memory up to today. This article traces how the Nazi insurgents became part of an older mythical narrative that continues to infuse not only American popular culture, but even contemporary elite and political discourse. One of the more recent examples is Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld's effort to compare the Nazi werewolves with the Iraqi insurgents whose attacks have plagued the occupied country since the American invasion.
