The Eastland Disaster remains the greatest loss-of-life tragedy on the Great Lakes. Using museum exhibits, government documents, trial transcripts, period newspapers, oral interviews, images, ephemera, and popular culture materials, this study examines the century after the disaster in terms of the place the Eastland has held in regional and national public memory. For much of that period, the public memory of the tragedy had been lost, but private memories survived through storytelling within the families of survivors, rescuers, and victims.

  • We Are the Walking Dead:” Zombie Spaces, Mobility, and The
    “WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD:” ZOMBIE SPACES, MOBILITY, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SECURITY IN ZONE ONE AND THE WALKING DEAD A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF ARTS BY JESSIKA O. GRIFFIN DR. AMIT BAISHYA – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2012 “We are the walking dead:” Zombified Spaces, Mobility, and the Potential for Security in Zone One and The Walking Dead “I didn’t put you in prison, Evey. I just showed you the bars” (170). —V, V For Vendetta The zombie figure is an indispensible, recurring player in horror fiction and cinema and seems to be consistently revived, particularly in times of political crisis. Film is the best-known medium of zombie consumption in popular culture, and also the most popular forum for academic inquiry relating to zombies. However, this figure has also played an increasingly significant role in written narratives, including novels and comic books. Throughout its relatively short existence, no matter the medium, the zombie has functioned as a mutable, polyvalent metaphor for many of society’s anxieties, with zombie film production spiking during society’s most troublesome times, including times of war, the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and, more recently, 9/11.1 In Shocking Representations, Adam Lowenstein describes the connection between historical events and cinema by first describing how history is experienced collectively. Lowenstein describes historical traumas as “wounds” in the sense that they are painful, but also in that they continue to “bleed through conventional confines of time and space” (1).
