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.
