Ph.D., Purdue University, August 2015. Race. Nation. Zombie: Imperial Masculinities Gazing at the Undead. Major Professor: Shaun Hughes. This dissertation argues that zombie narratives have always been about white masculinity and that colonialism is the true living dead monster. The zombie is not the load-bearing signifier in these stories. It is the white men who act as representatives of empire that embody tropes and evolve. This dissertation examines the survivor masculinity in zombie films over time to see how hegemonic masculinity has adapted to a range of national crises. I argue that the failure of white masculinities in these films and novel is rooted in the limited ways of knowing inherent in the Imperial Gaze. Starting in the 1930s, zombie films have attempted to recruit the double consciousness of black men to assist white men in their domination of colonial subjects. Each chapter thus juxtaposes race conflicts within the nation with our imperial actions on the global scale. 1 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Zombie scholarship is a relatively new field. While zombie narratives have been in popular circulation since the 1930s, it was not until George Romero’s 1968 Night of the Living Dead that the zombie was taken seriously as a monster that can reveal deeper currents within our culture. After the unrelated, but popularly linked correlation between the 9/11 attacks and the release of 28 Days Later (2002), scholars began to take notice, much to the simultaneous delight and dread of long-time fan communities. However, as the internet has grown, so have as the horror fan blogosphere, with countless online publications churning out insights, interview, reviews, theories, and the occasional screed. With an informal peer review process that occurs after rather than before publication, these fan communities have generated a considerable body of work. For scholars looking to work on zombies within the academic publishing industry, the challenge looms of how to say something new when an enormous horde of hungry fans have been chewing over the material, comparing notes, and always seeking to outdo one another in making the next big argument that will redefine how we talk about zombies going forward. In an ideal world, what scholars of the zombie have to offer that the fan culture cannot is disciplinary methodologies, the rigor of peer review, and a culture of intellectual integrity that values changing an argument based on evidence over the 2 prestige of winning an argument or the gratification of analyses that affirm our values. However, academic publishing is still a business. Titles that include either “zombies,” “undead,” “living dead,” or “walking dead” are almost guaranteed to enjoy cross-over success as scholars look for new ways to tie their own research to popular interests and the zombie fan blogosphere checks to see if professional intellectuals are as insightful as our degrees claim. As a result, when it comes to scholarship about zombies, and the same is true of many other areas within popular culture studies, publishing an idea first is often prioritized over traditional criteria such as rigorous research, contribution to the field, and even soundness of argument. Cross-over presses are mimicking the undead themselves, consuming any zombie scholarship they can get their hands on. For example, McFarland has published three anthologies, the only broadly conceived single author book, two encyclopedias and Gary Rhodes’s White Zombie: Anatomy of a Horror Film (2006). Furthermore, as a new field, zombie scholars have not benefited from a sustained discussion. There is no zombie scholarly cannon, with the possible exception of Kyle Bishop. Because of this, the new insights in the field are not measured against time-tested scholarship. The best zombie scholarship must borrow almost all of its research from other fields. While reducing the zombie to merely a mutation of the vampire has certainly produced wonderful scholarship such as Gregory Waller’s The Living and the Undead (1986, 2010), each monster taps into a completely different source material. Indeed, for a time in the fall of 2014, the Wikipedia page on zombies was subject to an intense debate over whether the zombie is a uniquely Caribbean monster or the natural evolution of the European ghoul that had been smuggled across the Atlantic under the guise of the vampire and assumed a new identity once here. Furthermore, as the Wikipedia debate has 3 made quite clear, territorialism within the field of zombies is a significant barrier to meaningful intellectual engagement. Whether it be fans fighting fans for an ideologically pure definition of zombies, or fans and scholars fighting over who gets to control the meaning of zombies, or scholars themselves fighting over the professional accolades of publishing cross-over scholarship, or the vast overlap of fan and scholarly communities that allows such conflicts to occur even within the same writer, the lack of authorities on the subject has created an expert vacuum and the

  • Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs
    Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 85,810 Abstract Extreme art cinema, has, in recent film scholarship, become an important area of study. Many of the existing practices are motivated by a Franco-centric lens, which ultimately defines transgressive art cinema as a new phenomenon. The thesis argues that a study of extreme art cinema needs to consider filmic production both within and beyond France. It also argues that it requires an historical analysis, and I contest the notion that extreme art cinema is a recent mode of Film production. The study considers extreme art cinema as inhabiting a space between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms, noting the slippage between the two often polarised industries. The study has a focus on the paratext, with an analysis of DVD extras including ‘making ofs’ and documentary featurettes, interviews with directors, and cover sleeves. This will be used to examine audience engagement with the artefacts, and the films’ position within the film market. Through a detailed assessment of the visual symbols used throughout the films’ narrative images, the thesis observes the manner in which they engage with the taste structures and pictorial templates of art and exploitation cinema.

  • Character of Zhalmauyz in the Folklore of Turkic Peoples
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol.II, Issue 5, August 2016 CHARACTER OF ZHALMAUYZ IN THE FOLKLORE OF TURKIC PEOPLES Pakizat Auyesbayeva1, Akbota Akhmetbekova2, Zhumashay Rakysh3* 1PhD in of philological sciences, M. O. Auezov Institute of Literature and Art, Kazakhstan, [email protected] 2PhD in of philological sciences, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan, [email protected] 3PhD in of philological sciences, M. O. Auezov Institute of Literature and Art, Kazakhstan, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Among the Turkic peoples Zhalmauyz Kempіr character, compared to other demonological characters, is widely used in genres. The transformation of this character from seven-headed villain - Zhalmauyz kempіr to mystan kempіr was seen. This very transformation is associated with the transition of society from matriarchy to patriarchy. Zhalmauyz is a syncretic person. She acts in the character of an evil old woman. This character is the main image of the evil inclination in the Kazakh mythology. She robs babies and eats them, floating on the water surface in the form of lungs, cleeks everybody who approached to the river and strangle until she will agree to give up her baby. In some tales she captures the young girls and sucks their blood through a finger deceiving or intimidating them. Two mythical characters in this fairy-tale image - mystan Kempіr and ugly villain - Zhalmauyz are closely intertwined. In the Turkic peoples Zhalmauyz generally acts as fairy-tale character. But as a specific demonological force Zhalmauyz refers to the character of hikaya genre. Because even though people do not believe in the seven-headed image of this character, but they believes that she eats people, harmful, she can pass from the human realm into the demons’ world and she is a connoisseur of all the features of both worlds.

  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: COMMUNICATING FEAR in FILM
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: COMMUNICATING FEAR IN FILM MUSIC: A SOCIOPHOBIC ANALYSIS OF ZOMBIE FILM SOUNDTRACKS Pedro Gonzalez-Fernandez Master of Arts, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Patrick Warfield, Musicology The horror film soundtrack is a complex web of narratological, ethnographic, and semiological factors all related to the social tensions intimated by a film. This study examines four major periods in the zombie’s film career—the Voodoo zombie of the 1930s and 1940s, the invasion narratives of the late 1960s, the post-apocalyptic survivalist fantasies of the 1970s and 1980s, and the modern post-9/11 zombie—to track how certain musical sounds and styles are indexed with the content of zombie films. Two main musical threads link the individual films’ characterization of the zombie and the setting: Othering via different types of musical exoticism, and the use of sonic excess to pronounce sociophobic themes.

  • Knowing God 'Other-Wise': the Wise Old Woman
    Knowing God “Other-wise”: The Wise Old Woman Archetype in George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie and “The Golden Key” Katharine Bubel “Old fables are not all a lie/That tell of wondrous birth, Of Titan children, father Sky,/And mighty mother Earth . To thee thy mother Earth is sweet,/Her face to thee is fair, But thou, a goddess incomplete,/Must climb the starry stair. Be then thy sacred womanhood/A sign upon thee set, A second baptism—understood--/For what thou must be yet.” —George MacDonald, To My Sister A consistent occurrence within the narrative archetypal pattern of The Journey is the appearance of the Wise Old Woman, a seer, encourager and advisor to those who have responded to the Call to Adventure. Such a figure is featured prominently in several of George MacDonald’s writings, though the focus of this paper is on his children’s fairy tales, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and“The Golden Key.” Since the Journey is a psychological one toward spiritual wholeness, for MacDonald, I borrow from Jungian theory to denote the Wise Old Woman as a form of anima, or female imago, who helps to develop the personality of the protagonist. But to leave things there would not encompass the sacramental particularity and universal intent of MacDonald’s fantasy: for the quest is ultimately a sacred journey that every person can make towards God. As Richard Reis writes, “If in one sense [MacDonald’s] muse was mythic- archetypal-symbolic, it was, in another way, deliberately didactic and thus ‘allegorical’ in purpose if not in achievement” (124).

  • The Emergence and Development of the Sentient Zombie: Zombie
    The Emergence and Development of the Sentient Zombie: Zombie Monstrosity in Postmodern and Posthuman Gothic Kelly Gardner Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Division of Literature and Languages University of Stirling 31st October 2015 1 Abstract “If you’ve never woken up from a car accident to discover that your wife is dead and you’re an animated rotting corpse, then you probably won’t understand.” (S. G. Browne, Breathers: A Zombie’s Lament) The zombie narrative has seen an increasing trend towards the emergence of a zombie sentience. The intention of this thesis is to examine the cultural framework that has informed the contemporary figure of the zombie, with specific attention directed towards the role of the thinking, conscious or sentient zombie. This examination will include an exploration of the zombie’s folkloric origin, prior to the naming of the figure in 1819, as well as the Haitian appropriation and reproduction of the figure as a representation of Haitian identity. The destructive nature of the zombie, this thesis argues, sees itself intrinsically linked to the notion of apocalypse; however, through a consideration of Frank Kermode’s A Sense of an Ending, the second chapter of this thesis will propose that the zombie need not represent an apocalypse that brings devastation upon humanity, but rather one that functions to alter perceptions of ‘humanity’ itself. The third chapter of this thesis explores the use of the term “braaaaiiinnss” as the epitomised zombie voice in the figure’s development as an effective threat within zombie-themed videogames.

  • Thematic Connections Between Western and Zombie Fiction
    Hang 'Em High and Bury 'Em Deep: Thematic Connections between Western and Zombie Fiction MICHAEL NGUYEN Produced in Melissa Ringfield’s Spring 2012 ENC1102 Zombies first shambled onto the scene with the release of Night of the Living Dead, a low- budget Romero film about a group of people attempting to survive mysterious flesh-eating husks; from this archetypical work, Night ushered in an era of the zombie, which continues to expand into more mediums and works to this day. Romero's own Living Dead franchise saw a revival as recently as 2004, more than doubling its filmography by the release of 2009's Survival of the Dead. As a testament to the pervasiveness of the genre, Max Brooks' zombie preparedness satire The Zombie Survival Guide alone has spawned the graphic novel The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks and the spinoff novel World War Z, the latter of which has led to a film adaptation. There have been numerous articles that capitalize on the popularity of zombies in order to use them as a nuanced metaphor; for example, the graduate thesis Zombies at Work: The Undead Face of Organizational Subjectivity used the post-colonial Haitian zombie mythos as the backdrop of its sociological analysis of the workplace. However, few, if any, have attempted to define the zombie-fiction genre in terms of its own conceptual prototype: the Western. While most would prefer to interpret zombie fiction from its horror/supernatural fiction roots, I believe that by viewing zombie fiction through the analytical lens of the Western, zombie works can be more holistically described, such that a series like The Walking Dead might not only be described as a “show about zombies,” but also as a show that is distinctly American dealing with distinctly American cultural artifacts.
