I need information on lycanthropy. Medical lycanthropy (that hairy disorder), mythological lycanthropes, lycanthropes in movies, anything helps.
Two requirements:
1) None of this: 'wearwulfs, sliver ballet, LoL!'
2) No wikipedia entries.
TOPIC: Give Billy info AND discuss lycanthropes.
Lycanthropes represent our deepest, most carnal inhibitions. What's not to love?
All I know is they rarely get proportions right in films.
The name isn't as catchy as werewolves, that's what's not to love.
Try Google and WebMD, man.
Lycanthropes are freaks, just like everyone else.
That Michael Jackson video...I think.
I wrote a greatly accepted academic paper on Psychosubliminal Messages in Films that discusses how film regulates human behaviour by teaching moral lessons through observational learning.
I can upload it for you.
I discuss two cult classics: Ginger Snaps and American Werewolf in London.
Itself, has a bundle of resources you may find useful in your own research and may prove to be insightful while looking at the aforementioned lycanthropic films.
I discuss this, also, in length by drawing parallels to Freudian and Jungian theory. Especially that concerning the battle between the Id and Superego for the concious Ego.Quote:

It's true, I've witnessed it myself. He was kinda sexy.

Lycanthropes eh?
I know a couple of people who are into that. Run around pretending to be wolves...or, being wolves...however you look at it really.
Each to their own. I understand it as people compulsivly believeing they either should be a wolf or have a close connection to their wolf spirit, were-side type thing.
Can be fun I suppose.
What about ducks?Quote:

And those of you who hear werewolves and think THIS stop. :P
It's been such a long tradition in the western culture as I know it. Despite cinime exploiting it for whatever they can it's history spans back farther than that... and that's what I think is so interesting about it. These "primitive" folk tales have horrified and entertained the people within its culture for centuries, you can't say that about TV. In fact TV is so repetitive and boring that they have to constantly recreate reality to even appeal to a person.
People once believe a werewolf, the mad man who runs naked in the moon, would come and eat your babies then eat you.
I don't really know any good books, I suggest just going to your local library, the internet is p00p when it comes to resources. Though it can sometimes be a good book pointer outer.
That's the best idea I've heard all week.Quote:
