A seminar about all things zombie, part of the Radical Cultural Studies Series organised by the Centre for Cultural Research at the University of East London.

Julia Dane will argue that The Walking Dead forces the audience to contemplate new frameworks of social value and the moral choices that mght be made in an apocalyptic world. Dan Hassler-Forest will suggest that critical posthumanism offers a way out of the deadlock between capitalism and the apocalyptic imaginary.

Dan's new book Science Fiction, Fantasy & Politics: Transmedia World-Building Beyond Capitalism will be published as part of our Radical Cultural Studies series with Rowman & Littlefield International (due August 2016).

Radical Space edited by centre co-director Debra Benita Shaw and Professor Maggie Humm will be launched on Thursday, 28th April, 6.30pm at the same venue.
