Infected Empires examines one of the most popular figures in contemporary apocalyptic film: the zombie. This harbinger of apocalypse reveals bloody truths about the human condition, the wounds of history, and methods of contending with them. Infected Empires considers parallels in the zombie genre to historical and current events on different political, theological and philosophical levels, and proposes that the zombie can be read as a figure of decolonization and an allegory of resistance to oppressive structures that racialize, marginalize, disable, and dispose of bodies. Studying films from around the world, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, the US, and Europe, Infected Empires presents a vision of a global zombie that points toward a posthuman and feminist future"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aGlobal Media and Race 606 $aZombies in motion pictures 610 $apolarized, climate fears, supranational institutions, nationalisms, apocalyptic, dystopian, popular culture, apocalyptic film, zombie, walking dead, zombie apocalypse, infected, human condition, decolonization, allegory, resistance, oppression, racialization, marginalization, film, film studies, Latin America, Asia, Africa, the US, Europe, posthuman, feminist futurism, Nation Race, power, capitalism, queering, environment, postcolonial, horror, fantasy, genre, Haitian folklore, reanimated, reanimation, magic, voodoo, undead, corpse, cannibal, zombie comedy. 615 0$aZombies in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43675 700 $aSaldarriaga$b Patricia$01670394 702 $aManini$b Emy$f1968- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811111603321 996 $aInfected empires$94032226 997 $aUNINA
