CLL 151: (LT) Studies in Literature: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse: Zombies in Literature, Film, and Television Semester Hours: 3
Would you survive the zombie apocalypse? This class will examine the presence of the zombie in literature, film, and television in order to explain their significance. When do the dead rise? What do they represent? Quite commonly, the walking dead provide a glimpse into cultural anxieties (particularly those related to race, gender and class). We will examine the zombie figure transhistorically, with investigations into such texts as George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, Richard Matheson’s I am Legend, Max Brooks, World War Z, Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, and of course the television series (and its graphic novel progenitor), The Walking Dead. Readings will also include theoretical readings that help us to postulate why the living dead are so important culturally.
