As a metaphor, zombies may represent political notions, such as the return of the repressed violence of colonialism, or the embodiment of a culture obsessed with consumerism. Increasingly, they are understood and depicted as a medicalized phenomenon: creatures transformed by disease into a threatening vector of contagion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Walking Med\u003c\/i\u003e brings together scholars from across the disciplines of cultural studies, medical education, medical anthropology, and art history to explore what new meanings the zombie might convey in this context. These scholars consider a range of forms--from comics disseminated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to graphic novels and television shows such as \u003ci\u003eThe Walking Dead\u003c\/i\u003e--to show how interrogations of the zombie metaphor can reveal new perspectives within the medical humanities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unprecedented forum for dialogue between cultural studies of zombies and graphic medicine, \u003ci\u003eThe Walking Med\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable contribution to both areas of study, as well as a potent commentary on one of popular culture's most invasive and haunting figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the editors, the contributors are Tully Barnett, Gerry Canavan, Daniel George, Michael Green, Ben Kooyman, Sarah Juliet Lauro, Juliet McMullin, Kari Nixon, Steven Schlozman, Dan Smith, and Darryl Wilkinson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLorenzo Servitje is a Ph.D. candidate in English at the University of California, Riverside, and the coeditor of \u003ci\u003eEndemic: Essays in Contagion Theory.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSherryl Vint is Professor and Director of the Speculative Fiction and Cultures of Science program at the University of California, Riverside, editor of \u003ci\u003eScience Fiction and Cultural Theory: A Reader\u003c\/i\u003e, and an editor of the journals \u003ci\u003eScience Fiction Studies \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Science Fiction Film and Television\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.2 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48080104816899,"sku":"9780271077123","price":1372.27,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/OLjz-2lxkI9780271077123.webp?v=1778194409","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/en-mx\/products\/the-walking-med-zombies-and-the-medical-image-paperback","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
