  • From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the Zombie
    FEAR AND THE MONSTROUS HUMAN: FROM MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE OF MAX BROOKS’ WORLD WAR Z By LINDA K. ANDREW Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. Jolene Armstrong in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta December, 2015 1 Abstract This paper focuses on the concept of fear and the monstrous human. The first part of this paper treats Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as an examination of fear as a cycle that produces rage when confronted by the moral detachment and shaming of others. The second part of this project addresses aspects of societal fear manifested in the zombie monster and set within the paradigm of the zombie apocalypse as posited in Max Brooks’ World War Z. The conclusions reached in this discussion suggest that compassion and reason are the antidote for the social toxin of terror. 2 Table of Contents • Introduction……………………………………………………………… 4 • Part One—Mary Shelley`s Frankenstein: The Creature’s Cycle Of Fear and Victor’s Moral Detachment…………………………….….6 • The Cycle of Fear, Otherness, and Rage……………………………….... 7 • Science and Accountability……………………………………………… 17 • Shame and the Loss of Personhood……………………………………… 25 • Discussion of Part One……………………………………………………34 • Part Two—World War Z: Reflections of Human Nature in the Zombie Apocalypse……………………………………………………… 36 • Zombies and Fear………………………………………………………… 38 • The Worst of Us………………………………………………………….. 40 • The Best of Us……………………………………………………………. 54 • Discussion of Part Two…………………………………………………... 63 • Works Cited……………………………………………………………… 65 3 Introduction In Western society, fear is displayed through mass media and inculcated into the mind of the individual and community, sometimes without his or her conscious awareness.

His first two novels were Some Great Thing and Any Known Blood, and his first non-fiction work to attract national attention was the memoir Black Berry, Sweet Juice: On Being Black and White in Canada.

  • Final Text 9/5/07 12:57 PM Page 11
    final text 9/5/07 12:57 PM Page 11 Danielle Fuller Listening to the Readers of “Canada Reads” Across the developed world fewer people are reading more books. Perhaps we should be asking how they are reading them. David Finkelstein and Alistair McCleery, An Introduction to Book History Why does the idea of celebrities championing Canadian literature on CBC radio and television make academics laugh? During the lively discussions at the “TransCanada” conference in June , almost everyone giggled when Barbara Godard pointed out that the CBC chose pop stars rather than academics to appear on CBC Radio One’s “Canada Reads” series. Now, this reaction may have been a brief outburst of conference-induced mass hysteria, but it was also an intriguing moment. What was so funny? Was it the idea that Canada has produced celebrities? Was it the juxtaposed image of pop star (connoting popular, media-savvy, access to a mass audience) and Canadian literature that provoked amuse- ment? Did the laughter indicate concern about a “watered-down” literary critique aired on radio by “unqualified” readers? How much professional anxiety about the impact of our role as teachers and thinkers on the world outside the university campus prompted our laughter? Or, was this the laughter of dismissal and the rejection of a popular program format? Mass reading events such as “Canada Reads” and “One Book, One Community” programs have certainly attracted criticism for their vulgariza- tion of a cultural practice (literary interpretation) and their pandering to “the prizes and showbiz mentality” that has “infiltrated” Canadian literary culture (Henighan ).

  • Canada Reads 2012 and the Effects of Reading Memoir in Public
    “True Stories,” Real Lives: Canada Reads 2012 and the Effects of Reading Memoir in Public Danielle Fuller and Julie Rak or the 2012 instalment of the competitive reading radio show Canada Reads,1 the producers decided to feature what they called “true stories,” with the winner declared as the non-fictional work Fthat all Canadians should read. This was the first year of Canada Reads to feature a theme and the first to focus on non-fiction. However, the producers’ decision to switch from fiction to non-fiction had sever- al unforeseen effects in both the show and the public realm. When celebrity advocate Anne-France Goldwater said on the show’s first day that Marina Nemat’s Prisoner of Tehran was untrue and then accused Carmen Aguirre of being a terrorist, Canada Reads abruptly stopped being a game show about nationalist forms of reading and became the focus of a serious discussion about memoir, nationalism, and ethics. Goldwater’s connection of the work of memoir with the lives and ideas of the authors, a common effect of memoir as a genre, echoed throughout the rest of Canada Reads 2012. In this essay, we propose that the prominence of the memoir on Canada Reads 2012 created a series of effects on the show and among the public that disrupted the usual “show business” of the program as public entertainment and eco- nomic catalyst, helping to create a controversy during the series itself. Carmen Aguirre, whose memoir won the contest in 2012, notes in the afterword to the 2014 edition of Something Fierce that, in addition to benefiting in terms of media exposure, book sales, and new opportun- ities to promote her book in person across Canada, the effects of the controversy included heightened public exposure and threats to her own safety.
