Dead or Alive? The Current State of Zombie Studies
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, September 21-22, 2023 (w/ Tim Lanzendörfer)
What is the current state of zombie studies, and what of the zombie? The conference Dead or Alive? aims to reflect on the figure of the zombie today, its power as a marker of contemporary anxieties, as a fully commercialized genre staple, as a symbolic means of resolving real contradictions, as a touchstone of popular culture, and more. What work can the zombie do in the contemporary, and how important does it remain in culture?
See the conference website for more information and read an interview on the conference with Tim Lanzendörfer and Marlon Lieber.
The presentations are available on YouTube.
