Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course is designed to explore how seemingly fantastical, near-human entities have become increasingly of interest to anthropologists over the last 25 years or so. We will discuss some of this work, as well as the theoretical roots of some of these interests, and how they are being reformed in the face of current crises, such the use of zombies as a resource for anti-vaxx conspiracy-thinking around Covid.
