Abstract

Zombies first shuffled across movie screens in 1932 in the low-budget Hollywood film White Zombie and were reimagined as undead flesh-eaters in George A. Romero's The Night of the Living Dead almost four decades later. Today, zombies are omnipresent in global popular culture, from video games and top-rated cable shows in the United States to comic books and other visual art forms to low-budget films from Cuba and the Philippines. The zombie's ability to embody a variety of cultural anxieties-ecological disaster, social and economic collapse, political extremism-has ensured its continued relevance and legibility, and has precipitated an unprecedented deluge of international scholarship.Zombie studies manifested across academic disciplines in the humanities but also beyond, spreading into sociology, economics, computer science, mathematics, and even epidemiology. Zombie Theory collects the best interdisciplinary zombie scholarship from around the world. Essays portray the zombie not as a singular cultural figure or myth but show how the undead represent larger issues: the belief in an afterlife, fears of contagion and technology, the effect of capitalism and commodification, racial exclusion and oppression, dehumanization. As presented here, zombies are not simple metaphors; rather, they emerge as a critical mode for theoretical work. With its diverse disciplinary and methodological approaches, Zombie Theory thinks through what the walking undead reveal about our relationships to the world and to each other.Contributors: Fred Botting, Kingston U; Samuel Byrnand, U of Canberra; Gerry Canavan, Marquette U; Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, George Washington U; Jean Comaroff, Harvard U; John Comaroff, Harvard U; Edward P.

Abstract

The essays investigate how Canada has pursued the construction of its national identity through symbolic cultural expressions. Analysing manifestations of Canada's cultural memory, the essays therefore engage in a search for the Canada of the mind. In particular, they turn to the fields of cultural and of literary studies to show how writers have projected an image of Canada as a desired space and have rendered the search for meaning within this space. En cette année du quatrième centenaire de la fondation de la ville de Québec, le volume a pour objet de radiographier le concept de l'invention de la nation canadienne. Nous savons que la configuration nationale du Canada, ainsi que celle du Québec, est loin d'être acquise, et qu'il faut se demander dans quelle mesure ce concept en question relève d'une donnée historique ou bien plutôt d'un travail imaginaire sur un ensemble culturel vaguement défini. Nous avons réuni les analyses de spécialistes pour la plupart d'origine centre-européenne afin de fournir des réponses adéquates au fait littéraire et culturel de l'invention de la nation canadienne ou québécoise.

Abstract

Written by an international team of literary scholars and historians, this collaborative volume illuminates the diversity of early modern religious beliefs and practices in Shakespeare's England, and considers how religious culture is imaginatively reanimated in Shakespeare's plays. Fourteen new essays explore the creative ways Shakespeare engaged with the multifaceted dimensions of Protestantism, Catholicism, non-Christian religions including Judaism and Islam, and secular perspectives, considering plays such as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, King John, King Lear, Macbeth, Measure for Measure, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Winter's Tale. The collection is of great interest to readers of Shakespeare studies, early modern literature, religious studies, and early modern history.
