The research compiled in this collection covers a wide range of examples, including not only literature but also film, television, video games, and digital media remakes. Gothic Afterlives signals the cultural and conceptual impact of Gothic horror on transmedia production, with a focus on reimagining and remaking. While diverse in content and approach, all chapters pivot on two important points: first, they reflect some of the core preoccupations of Gothic horror by subverting cultural and social certainties about notions such as the body, technology, consumption, human nature, digitalization, scientific experimentation, national identity, memory, and gender and by challenging the boundaries between human and inhuman, self and Other, and good and evil. Second, and perhaps most important, all chapters in the collection collectively show what happens when well-known Gothic horror narratives are adapted and remade into different contexts, highlighting the implications of the mode-shifting registers, platforms, and chronologies in the process. As a collection, Gothic Afterlives hones in on contemporary sociocultural experiences and identities as they appear in contemporary popular culture and in the stories told and retold in the twenty-first century.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 238mmItem Length: 159mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 540gContributor: Anya Heise-von der Lippe (Contributions by), Deborah Kennedy (Contributions by), Simon Brown (Contributions by), Gwyneth Peaty (Contributions by), Lorna Jowett (Contributions by), Jeanette Laredo (Contributions by), Lorna Piatti-Farnell (Edited by), Matthew Thompson (Contributions by), Simon Bacon (Contributions by), Cheryl Hague (Contributions by), Stacey Abbott (Contributions by), Matthew Crofts (Contributions by), Emerald L.
