This issue marks the 14th anniversary of the journal, which was established in October 2006 by Elizabeth McCarthy and Bernice Murphy, with the support of what was then the M.Phil. in Popular Literature in the School of English in Trinity College Dublin. The IJGHS has seen a number of changes since then in terms of the editorial team, the online platform we use to bring you our open-access content, and the frequency of publication. The current issue marks one such change, albeit a temporary one. Due to a range of personal circumstances, we did not publish an issue in 2019, and Issue #18 is therefore even longer than usual, with six articles, covering a range of topics from eighteenth-century gothic to contemporary theories of speculative realism, and over a hundred and fifty pages of reviews, covering academic books, fiction, TV and podcasts, film, and events, capped off with an interview with Northern-Irish filmmaker Aislinn Clarke. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many contributors for their hard work and patience over the past eighteen months, which have been unusually unpredictable, both for us personally and on a global scale. As a small, independent, self-funded journal, run mainly by precariously employed scholars and those who have left academia, we are very much at the mercy of forces larger than ourselves, a situation that any good gothic hero or heroine should recognise all too easily. We have also, however, been incredibly lucky in terms of receiving support (whether editorial, technical, and moral) from a wonderful and very generous network. I am particularly grateful for the help of Niall Gillespie, Valeria Cavalli, Indira Priyadarshini Gopalan Nair, and Jennifer Daly over the past few months, as well as the excellent work done by our reviews editors, Sarah Cullen, Ruth Doherty, Elizabeth Parker, and Leanne Waters. We will be releasing details of our new Call for Papers shortly, via our website (https://irishgothicjournal.net/), and our social-media pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please email us ([email protected]) if you have any queries, and we’re always happy to receive submissions of articles and reviews on a rolling basis throughout the year. And in the meanwhile, we hope that you enjoy Issue #18, just in time for Halloween. 5 Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 18 (2020) Statement re: Issue#12 (2013) On 5 October 2020, the editors were made aware that the article ‘Ghosted Dramaturgy: Mapping the Haunted Space in Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More’ from issue 12 (2013), by Dr. Deidre O’Leary (Manhattan College), took liberally, and in an uncredited fashion, from Dr. Alice Dailey’s published article ‘Last Night I Dreamt I Went to Sleep No More: Intertextuality and Indeterminacy at Punchdrunk’s McKittrick Hotel’ (in Borrowers and Lenders: A Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation (Winter 2012)). Dr. O’Leary’s article has been retracted due to plagiarism. 6 Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 18 (2020) ‘Do you all want to die? We must throw them out!’: Class Warfare, Capitalism, and Necropolitics in Seoul Station and Train to Busan Jessica Ruth Austin The undead, and the notion of life beyond death, have long been important components of gothic literature, and, arguably, this is increasingly the case in modern popular culture. Carol Margaret Davison has noted that ‘many gothic works meditated on death and death practices as a signpost of civilisation’.1 This essay explores the ways in which ‘undead practices’ function as a signpost of social inequality in a society, with zombie narratives as a useful tool for theorising death and death practices. In particular, the link between zombies and necropolitics (where it is decided which people in society live and which will die) is made explicit in the South-Korean films Seoul Station and Train to Busan.2 As I argue here, in these films, zombies are culturally representative for a South-Korean audience that is viewing them, and moreover, are connected to South-Korean death practices. I argue that these films highlight important necropolitical practices in South- Korean society today, with South-Korean audiences experiencing these zombie narratives differently to models outlined in previously published work on Western consumption of zombie narratives. As Achille Mbembe has proposed, necropolitics could be described as ‘the ultimate expression of sovereignty’ when it comes to ‘the power and the capacity to dictate who may live and who must die’, a formulation that, as this essay argues, can usefully be applied to the zombie horror genre, and specifically to Seoul Station and Train to Busan.3 This essay covers the way that these films represent necropolitical practices in South Korea in terms of work and labour, and of political hierarchies that have emerged in South-Korean society because of this. This essay utilises the concept of cinesexuality and work on zombies by Patricia MacCormack, who argues that films can evoke specific, distinct responses from domestic audiences, due to the presence of symbolism specific to the films’ cultures of origin, evoking a deeper pleasurable 1 Carol Margaret Davison, ‘Trafficking in Death and (Un)dead Bodies: Necro-Politics and Poetics in the Works of Ann Radcliffe’, The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies, 14 (2015), 37-48 (p. 39). 2 Seoul Station, dir. by Yeon Sang-ho (Studio Dadashow, 2016); and Train to Busan, dir. by Yeon Sang-ho (Next Entertainment World, 2016).

Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää.

  • Between Liminality and Transgression: Experimental Voice in Avant-Garde Performance
    BETWEEN LIMINALITY AND TRANSGRESSION: EXPERIMENTAL VOICE IN AVANT-GARDE PERFORMANCE _________________________________________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre and Film Studies in the University of Canterbury by Emma Johnston ______________________ University of Canterbury 2014 ii Abstract This thesis explores the notion of ‘experimental voice’ in avant-garde performance, in the way it transgresses conventional forms of vocal expression as a means of both extending and enhancing the expressive capabilities of the voice, and reframing the social and political contexts in which these voices are heard. I examine these avant-garde voices in relation to three different liminal contexts in which the voice plays a central role: in ritual vocal expressions, such as Greek lament and Māori karanga, where the voice forms a bridge between the living and the dead; in electroacoustic music and film, where the voice is dissociated from its source body and can be heard to resound somewhere between human and machine; and from a psychoanalytic perspective, where the voice may bring to consciousness the repressed fears and desires of the unconscious. The liminal phase of ritual performance is a time of inherent possibility, where the usual social structures are inverted or subverted, but the liminal is ultimately temporary and conservative. Victor Turner suggests the concept of the ‘liminoid’ as a more transgressive alternative to the liminal, allowing for permanent and lasting social change. It may be in the liminoid realm of avant-garde performance that voices can be reimagined inside the frame of performance, as a means of exploring new forms of expression in life.

(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland. The small, stocky woman visiting the stricken province is Queen Wilhelmina. Without turning a hair she allows herself to be carried over the waters.

Except for the mailbox, you might drive past without noticing its presence. The solitude of its location serves Eric Moon and Jan McKie well. Eric is a professional voiceover talent, and Jan is a former graphic artist turned entrepreneur. They both work from home, and the concept of The Quiet Place is their brainchild. The Quiet Place opened in April 2000 as one secluded getaway cabin conveniently located near Cumming Nature Center, Bristol Mountain, Grimes Glen and several wonderful restaurants and wine trails. Today, there are eight cabins and cottages scattered throughout the Finger Lakes, each one designated as The Quiet Place. The cabins range in size from one to four bedrooms, with the largest accommodating up to eight people.
