Gender, Supernatural Beings, and the Liminality of Death

Zusatztext

<p><a></a><span>Gender, Supernatural Beings, and the Liminality of Death: Monstrous Males/Fatal Females</span><span> examines representations of the supernatural dead to demonstrate shifts in the manifestation of gender. Including readings of East Asian detectives/cyborgs, Iranian vampires, and African zombies, among others, This collection offers a multi-faceted look at myth, legend, and popular culture representations of the gendered supernatural from a broad range of international contexts. The contributors show that, as creatures pass through the liminal space of death, their new supernatural forms challenge cultural conceptions of gender, masculinity, and femininity.</span><a></a></p>
