All texts will be situated in their historical/cultural contexts and we will discuss why monsters cannot be inscribed in the category of the "other", but radically question dualistic categories. We will therefore use Julia Kristeva's theory of the abject to explain the ambiguous position the monsters occupy on the margins of Western culture.
