Summary

Jorge Fernández Gonzalo: Philosophy of Zombies

Based on the film production of George Romero and other works of the genre about the living dead (films, comics, video games, television series) the book Philosophy of Zombies offers an original analysis of society of control and media power.

The plague of walking corpses from fiction serves as a metaphor that helps us understand all the complexity of our postmodern society, the society of spectacle and technicization, which has already been discussed by authors such as Baudrillard, Debor, Deleuze. An analysis that includes language, the hypercodification of the modern world, the flaws of capitalism or our fashion, as well as the affective parts that shape modern computerized societies, enables the articulation of a more or less systematic, comprehensive critique of the established order, its discourses, accepted chimeras.

Zombie Ontology rediscovers the spaces of intimacy that are buried under contemporary techno-affective paradigms, mass propaganda and hyper-consumption that has gotten out of control.

"The reader can end his search for zombies in this book by facing the mirror, and in the image of those eternally hungry walking dead he will recognize his own deformed figure, everything he now thought was his will be seen in a state of decay due to the effects of another plague, much better disguised by the plague of all the corpses of this world rising from the ground, but equally fatal, which presupposes the development of a new affective and media capitalism that we are witnessing with our eyes wide open."
