VIS 31Undead Media: All Things Zombie
Have you noticed that zombies are everywhere? In the lab, bank, your home, computer, and cell phone. The undead threaten identity and civilization. Who are they? What do they want? How do they “think”? What do they mean? Class will consider film, literature, graphic novels, video games, and fan culture, drawing from fields such as computing, anthropology, philosophy, sexuality studies, and ethnic studies to dig up undead media’s secret histories and map the global flows of its shambling hordes.
