Beyond Life: The Rise of Undead Culture
Presiding Officer:
Roland Finger, Cuesta College
The undead have forcefully risen in popular literature and media and targeted the pillars of society—identity, family, religion, and government. Normal life simultaneously loses and acquires value vis-à-vis threats from the undead. This session investigates the significance of the undead within culture, literature, and philosophy.

Popular Preternaturaliana was brought to life in May 2013 and serves as the official site of the Monsters & the Monstrous Area of NEPCA. We are sponsored by the Northeast Alliance for Scholarship on the Fantastic and hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture. We hope to provide a resource for further study and debate of the preternatural wherever, whenever, and however it may appear.
