  • 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.

  • Media and Identity in Post-War American and Global Fictions of the Undead
    "Born in Death": Media and Identity in Post-War American and Global Fictions of the Undead Jonathan Mark Wilkinson MA by Research University of York English January 2015 2 Abstract Existing scholarship has largely overlooked that the undead are, famously, ‘us’. They are beings born from our deaths. Accordingly, their existence complicates the limits and value of our own. In this dissertation, I therefore argue that fictions of the undead reflect on questions of identity, meditating on the ways in which identities are created, distorted or otherwise reformed by the media to which their most important texts draw insistent attention. Analysing landmark texts from Post-War American contexts, this dissertation expands its hypothesis through three case studies, reading the texts in each as their own exercise in ontological thought. In each case study, I show that fictions of the undead reflect on the interactions between media and identity. However, there is no repeating model through which the themes of media, identity and undeath are repeatedly engaged. Each text’s formulation of these interacting themes is distinct to the other’s, suggesting that the significance of the undead and their respective tradition is not in the resounding ontological ‘answers’ that they and their texts inspire, but the questions that their problematic existential state asks. 3 List of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................2 Author’s Declaration .................................................................................................4

  • Heroism of Robert Neville in I Am Legend Movie William
    HEROISM OF ROBERT NEVILLE IN I AM LEGEND MOVIE WILLIAM NICO SAPTONO ABSTRACT I am Legend is a film that tells about a military scientist who struggles to save human extinction from zombie virus. The purpose of this paper is to show the nature of heroism which exist in the protagonist’s characters. The writer uses library research in collecting the data. This analysis is supported by intrinsic elements as cinematography. In analyzing the extrinsic elements, the author uses the theory of heroism. The result of this paper is that Neville shows heroism act such as being decisive, creative in finding solution, being a religious man, helping and fighting the enemy. Those are aspects which represent characteristics of heroism in Neville. Keyword: I am Legend, heroism, zombie 1. Introduction Film is an expression of art which delivers many kinds of messages and topics, such as heroism. Heroism is a passion with higher purposes and great skill to think what he/she will do, not just emotional moment. Heroism has been used since the era of Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1841. It is a social value that has been applied since cave paintings, spread in oral tradition and molded legends, folktales, and myths into poems, epics (Carlyle, 1891; Hook, 1943; Klapp, 1948). Literature also emphasizes the word heroism as to help without any compensation. One of the films which talks about heroism is the Francis Lawrence movie’s I am Legend. It describes about the condition in the world that was infected by virus. People who infected the virus will become a zombie.

    21st Century Zombies: New Media, Cinema, and Performance By Joanne Marie Taylor A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Peter Glazer, Chair Professor Brandi Wilkins Catanese Professor Kristen Whissel Fall 2011 21st Century Zombies: New Media, Cinema, and Performance © 2011 by Joanne Marie Taylor Abstract 21st Century Zombies: New Media, Cinema, and Performance by Joanne Marie Taylor Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and a Designated Emphasis in Film Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Peter Glazer, Chair This project began with a desire to define and articulate what I have termed cinematic performance, which itself emerged from an examination of how liveness, as a privileged performance studies concept, functions in the 21st century. Given the relative youth of the discipline, performance studies has remained steadfast in delimiting its objects as those that are live—shared air performance—and not bound by textuality; only recently has the discipline considered the mediated, but still solely within the circumscription of shared air performance. The cinema, as cultural object, permeates our lives—it is pervasive and ubiquitous—it sets the bar for quality acting, and shapes our expectations and ideologies. The cinema, and the cinematic text, is a complex performance whose individual components combine to produce a sum greater than the total of its parts. The cinema itself is a performance—not just the acting—participating in a cultural dialogue, continually reshaping and challenging notions of liveness, made more urgent with the ever-increasing use of digital technologies that seem to further segregate what is generally considered real performance from the final, constructed cinematic text.

  • Facing the Sublime: the Zombie Figure, Climate Change, and the Crisis of Categorization
    Facing the Sublime Facing the Sublime: The Zombie Figure, Climate Change, and the Crisis of Categorization Elaine Chong Abstract In the article, zombies are presented as the 21st century’s way to encounter the sublime, and as a way to rethink the rigid binaries in Western culture and our effects on climate change. By applying Edmund Burke’s treatise, A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, the terror equated with witnessing something neither alive nor dead is capable of creating feelings of the sublime. The horror instilled by the zombie is because this figure defies categorization in the most basic way –it exists between life and death. The author uses Marjorie Garber’s work Vested Interests that explores a “third” category that questions typical gender binary. This crisis of categorization works similarly with the zombie figure because it too lies in the middle of a stable, unchallengeable binary –that of life and death. This binary becomes permeable in zombie fiction, throwing the reader into a psychological state capable of experiencing the sublime. Zombies have evolved in each retelling. However in each the brain is the vital organ necessary for a zombie’s survival, including Warm Bodies, World War Z, and I Am Legend. Through a close reading of I Am Legend, the author argues that the existence of the zombie narrative parallels how the Western world has treated the planet and contributed to climate change. Zombies are a destructive vision of humanity, and through the “third” space that zombie literature provides, society is able to encounter the environmental damage it is inflicting on the planet.

This goes directly against the book's idea of Neville having unknowingly become a villain. Still, it helps along the way as sharing your status and other updates at certain junctures throughout the game grants you additional gold, treasure, experience points, and new monsters. The novel's vampires are also cannibalistic, preying on their own kind when they cannot find a human to consume. As time progresses, Neville turns scientific and discovers some of the microbiological aspects of the plague, as well as how it spreads from host to host. There are some excellent reviews out there.

  • Revenant Landscapes in the Walking Dead
    Revenant Landscapes in The Walking Dead Abstract This paper considers The Walking Dead comic (Kirkman, Moore and Adlard, Image 2003-present) and television series (AMC, 2010-present), arguing that although the two series rely on similar imagery they are distinct in their use of space. This contradicts established industry, audience and creator discourses surrounding this text and offers a counter-argument to the popular perspective that comics can be used as simple storyboards for their television adaptations. Firstly, geographies of the urban gothic and themes such as inversion and decay are used to interrogate paratextual claims of fidelity between the two texts. The paper compares key scenes and settings and goes beyond aesthetics to show that in both versions the functions of urban spaces are inverted (the highway, prison, farm, etc). It argues that the zombies’ decaying flesh echoes the disrepair of the landscape and the protagonists’ own bodily fragmentation through injury and violence is mirrored in the destruction of the places they encounter. These claims are then reconsidered using the space of the comics page, applying the work of Thierry Groensteen and critical theories of gothic narrative structure. This demonstrates that comics’ mono-sensory narratives allow depictions to be thematically linked with an emotive use of space to engage readers, and that this contributes to a gothic architecture of the page. The paper concludes that the critical discourse of fidelity that surrounds The Walking Dead is superficial and that each version’s spaces are medium-specific and distinct in their affect on the reader/viewer.
