Theorising the Contemporary Zombie: Contextual Pasts, Presents, and Futures: Horror Studies
Editat de Conor Heffernan, Scott Eric Hamiltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2022
Contemporary culture is undergoing a zombie invasion, with the undead present in books, movies, TV shows, and more. Contributors tease out a horde of cultural resonance through a range of international media, including the South Korean horror film Train to Busan, English-language young adult novel The Boy on the Bridge, and the 1980s Italian Gates of Hell trilogy. This book offers a series of thought-provoking examinations of the meanings and metaphors of zombies in three distinct fields: gender and sexuality, the environment, and media.

Recenzii
"Theorising the Contemporary Zombie represents a valuable contribution to the growing literature of zombie studies. This innovative collection transcends the often myopic focus of similar scholarly anthologies by demonstrating how valuable the zombie metaphor is for a variety of disciplines and intertexts, not to mention contemporary society as a whole. These essays are a must-read for fans and scholars of the zombie figure alike."
