- Undead Apocalypse is a 7-chapter monograph of over 90,000 words (240 pages), representing a coherent and sustained interdisciplinary research project, conducted over a period of four years. The project involved the collection, examination and analysis of over eighty films and thirty long running television series. The analysis of this material underpins the monograph’s central argument and conclusions. Each chapter approaches the topic in depth from distinct interdisciplinary perspectives requiring extensive research, including virology/genetics, posthumanism, gender, post-9/11 trauma, and issues of race and identity, while also considering the impact of specific film and television production and broadcast contexts upon the texts.
