Abstract

"A study that classifies zombies as a vehicle to communicate humanity's pathway into, and out of, the ideological, health and environmental pandemics of our time. Exploring depictions of zombies across literature, poetry, comics, television, film and video games, this timely intervention demonstrates how zombies enable speculation about future modes of being in a changing world and represent the fluid notion of 'old' and 'new' normals. Zombie Futures classifies zombies as a traveling concept at the centre of discourses around how human cognition and embodiment are effected by global realities such as consumerism, new technologies, climate change and planetary degeneration"--
