In this book, Rahel Sixta Schmitz defines and discusses a trope recurring in Gothic fiction: the supernatural media virus. This trope comprises the confluence of the virus, the network, and a deep, underlying media anxiety. This study shows how Gothic narratives such as House of Leaves or The Ring feature the supernatural media virus to negotiate as well as actively shape imaginations of the network society and the dangers of a globalized, technologized world.GegenwartsliteraturGothic fiction (Literary genre)20th centuryHistory and criticismAmerican Studies.British Studies.Film.Horror.Literary Studies.Literature.Media.Network Society.Virus.Gothic fiction (Literary genre)History and criticism.809.3876Schmitz Rahel Sixta1991-1250568MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996478970103316The supernatural media virus2898720UNISA02328aam 2200361 n 450 99108619355033212025061810222383-8142-556-5(CKB)4100000010123845(ceeol)ceeol871799(CEEOL)871799(EXLCZ)99410000001012384520252218d2019 ||l |polCzy Polacy i Żydzi nienawidzą się nawzajem?

Since the 1940s, the Holocaust has delineated the story, testing linguistic efficiency and imagination, as well as forming a permanent reference point in the collective consciousness and one of the most important issues of Polish culture. It can be couched in the question, “How should we build relations with Jews?” Literature has been posing it in a virtually unchanged form for a century, failing to notice the long absence of the important addressee and interlocutor: Jews. The question about Polish relations with Jews, which has an extremely strong impact on writers, requires clarification. Firstly, it is not addressed only to Jewish recipients, but above all to Poles. Secondly, it is symbolic, not actual, and results from the overwhelming need to take over the dominant narrative of mutual relations and “set it up” in such a way that it would no longer be a stain on our history, but would allow us to purge ourselves of it, explain it or even write it anew.
