Gender, Supernatural Beings, and the Liminality of Death: Monstrous Males/Fatal Females - Paperback
by Sarah Stang (Contribution by), F. C. Fenton (Contribution by), Matt Coward-Gibbs (Contribution by)
Gender, Supernatural Beings, and the Liminality of Death: Monstrous Males/Fatal Females examines representations of the supernatural dead to demonstrate shifts in the manifestation of gender. Including readings of East Asian detectives/cyborgs, Iranian vampires, and African zombies, among others, This collection offers a multi-faceted look at myth, legend, and popular culture representations of the gendered supernatural from a broad range of international contexts. The contributors show that, as creatures pass through the liminal space of death, their new supernatural forms challenge cultural conceptions of gender, masculinity, and femininity.
