Living with Zombies: Society in Apocalypse in Film, Literature and Other Media - Paperback
by Chase Pielak (Author), Alexander H. Cohen (Author)
Depictions of the zombie apocalypse continue to reshape our concept of the walking dead (and of ourselves). The undead mirror cultural fears--governmental control, lawlessness, even interpersonal relationships--exposing our weaknesses and demanding a response (or safeguard), even as we imagine ever more horrifying versions of post-apocalyptic life. This critical study traces a shift in narrative focus in portrayals of the zombie apocalypse, as the living move from surviving hypothetical destruction toward reintegration and learning to live with the undead.
Chase Pielak teaches English at Auburn University. Alexander H. Cohen has written about such topics as zombies, active learning, and how weather affects politics. He lives in Potsdam, New York.
