which trigger the less logical parts of our

How horror has changed over time

The setting in which a text is produced, that is the gathering of factors

'outside' the text which knowingly determine its meaning (i.e. the time,

place and values of the society in which it was collected), have an

important influence on the reception and symbol of the genre of which

that text is a part. An example of such an rate is the horror genre and the

way in which it has varied and taken numerous forms throughout time and

in different cultures.

In order to be defined as a text from the horror genre, certain

characteristics are usually required, yet due to the constantly changing

values of society throughout time, not to mention the opposite values of

different cultures around the world, these characteristics are not only

pretty broad, but open to use and assumption as a result of the different

time and place, as well as the values of the society in which a text is

produced.
