Theorising the Contemporary Zombie : Contextual Pasts, Presents, and Futures Paperback / softback
Edited by Scott Hamilton, Conor Heffernan
Part of the Horror Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Zombies have become an increasingly popular object of research in academic studies and, of course, in popular media.
Over the past decade, they have been employed to explain mathematical equations, vortex phenomena in astrophysics, the need for improved laws, issues within higher education, and even the structure of human societies.
Despite the surge of interest in the zombie as a critical metaphor, no coherent theoretical framework for studying the zombie actually exists.
Addressing this current gap in the literature, Theorising the Contemporary Zombie defines zombiism as a means of theorising and examining various issues of society in any given era by immersing those social issues within the destabilising context of apocalyptic crisis; and applying this definition, the volume considers issues including gender, sexuality, family, literature, health, popular culture and extinction.
