  • Chapter 2: Zombies, Gender and World-Ecology: Gothic Narrative in the Work of Ana Lydia Vega and Mayra Montero
    Chapter 2: Zombies, Gender and World-Ecology: Gothic Narrative in the Work of Ana Lydia Vega and Mayra Montero Kerstin Oloff The individual, the community, the land, are inextricable in the process of creating history. Landscape is a character in this process. Its deepest meanings need to be understood – Édouard Glissant (1989, 105-6) It is widely accepted that Gothic fears construct ‘a monster out of the traits which ideologies of race, class, gender, sexuality and capital want to disavow’ (Halberstam, 1995, 102). Indeed, much has been written on the Gothic’s inherent relation to racist-patriarchal capitalism, but the role of ‘ecophobia’ within the Gothic has only more recently become a focus of sustained critical attention.1 Historical capitalism has developed through a series of metabolic rifts that have as their ideological complement the nature-society dichotomy (a dichotomy which is also gendered and racialized). Put simply, these ‘rifts’ refer to the increasing alienation of the majority of the population from the means of reproduction – most fundamentally, the land and the body. The zombie is ideal for starting to think through Gothic representations of these rifts (Oloff, 2012). Zombies have become globally recognizable figures because they speak powerfully to the anxieties produced by the commodification of labour: humans are reduced to being bodily vessels for the production of specifically capitalist value (socially necessary labour time). Yet commodification is also fundamentally an ecological process, something that becomes clear if we consider the zombie’s Haitian origins. The zombie has its roots in a paradigmatic moment in the emergence of capitalism: the Caribbean experience of the sugar 1 Ecophobia is defined by Estok as ‘an irrational fear (sometimes, of course, leading to contempt or hatred) of the agency (real or imagined) of nature’ (2013, 74).
