Żywy trup jako alegoria polityczna
Journal Title: Przegląd Humanistyczny - Year 2015, Vol 59, Issue 3
Abstract
In this article I will interpret the figure of living dead in terms of political allegory by relating three levels: the level of narration, theory, by which the narration can be decoded, and political situation, a symptom of which this narration is. In this way, I can trace the potential of two realizations of zombie figure in contemporary cinema: firstly, as a consumer, performing automated acts; secondly, as a revolutionary subject – excluded rebel. I treat both of those images as symptoms of radical political desire, its main motives and impasses.<br/><br/>
