Abstract:

Spam appears everywhere on the Internet, from downloaded emails to server-based blogs, forums and social media communications. This article explores this notion of the living dead in the context of spam culture. How is spam actively and repetitively produced with different identities? I adopt the term ‘zombie’ to describe spam because, notably, the concept of zombies has been used extensively in popular culture and entertainment, such as films, games and literature to describe the phenomenon of mindless slaves. They are usually situated in an environment that has suffered a viral outbreak with contagious effects. Critiques have compared zombies to dead labour, such as the slavery in Haiti and the labour in the United States: that is, the exploitation of labour through the concept of alienation, from Marx’s theory, and labour practices in global capitalism. Within the context of spam production, as datafied phenomenon, this paper uses the figure of the zombie to describe the computational and network processes of spam automation, which I call ‘zombification’ — alluding to the broader topic of datafication and its consequences. The assumption here is that life once datafied is zombification.

Abstract:

In the past few years deep-learning AI neural networks have achieved major milestones in artistic image analysis and generation, producing what some refer to as ‘art.’ We reflect critically on some of the artistic shortcomings of a few projects that occupied the spotlight in recent years. We introduce the term ‘Zombie Art’ to describe the generation of new images of dead masters, as well as ‘The AI Reproducibility Test.’ We designate the problems inherent in AI and in its application to art history. In conclusion, we propose new directions for both AI-generated art and art history, in the light of these new powerful AI technologies of artistic image analysis and generation.

Abstract:

The adaptive behavior of living creatures is considered to be generated by interactions between the brain, body, and environment. However, to better understand this essence, it is important to study the minimalistic set of interactions between the brain, body, and environment and to extract the underlying control mechanism. Therefore, in this research, we propose a novel methodology for observing the behavior by stepwise inhibition (zombification) of the upper brain functions of living organisms.* * This article is a translation from the article: K.

Abstract:

Wade Davis's study of Haitian “zombification” in the 1980s was a landmark in ethnobiological research. His research was an attempt to trace the origins of reports of “undead” Haitians, focusing on the preparation of the zombification poison. Starting with this influential ethnopharmacological research, this study examines advances in the pharmacology of natural products, focusing especially on those of animal-derived products. Ethnopharmacological, pharmacological, and chemical aspects are considered. We also update information on the animal species that reportedly constitute the zombie poison. Several components of the zombie powder are not unique to Haiti and are used as remedies in traditional medicine worldwide. This paper emphasizes the medicinal potential of products from zootherapy. These biological products are promising sources for the development of new drugs.

Abstract:

The zombie figure is ubiquitous in contemporary horror film—particularly in the United States—and has prompted me to explore why zombie films have regained popularity post-9/11, why the zombie has become a figure in flux, evolving from slow to fast, from un-dead to living, and from decaying to mutating body, and finally, to explore the practical use of an allegory of the zombie at the end of the world. My fascination with horror film has bloomed into an analysis of the ways in which the zombie figure in film troubles and in part reifies the human figure delineated by classical humanism and anthropocentrism; how posthumanism serves as a critical lens through which the zombie figure not only threatens ontology, but also the ideological constructs of speciesism, racism, and sexism that depend upon the fantasy figure of the human to justify dehumanization and atrocities. Zombie films’ apocalyptic narratives warn of ecological crisis, of over-consumption, of ends that are always near yet always deferred. They are intertextual, historically and politically resonant, and draw particularly though not singularly on America-centric fear and trauma. It is particularly significant as a genre when one considers the 9/11 attacks as a benchmark. Extant criticism has focused on examining the political and cultural critiques of American society in George A. Romero’s canonical films, and others, to conclude that “they” are “us”. Moreover, it often suggests that zombies provide a background against which humans reach their full potential—re-endorsing humanism and anthropocentrism—or alternatively, they highlight essential flaws and the aggressive, ‘animalistic’ nature of humans. By contrast, I argue that these films do more than mediate terror; they profoundly affect political life since 9/11 by insisting that posthumanism must be addressed if we are to understand the ways in which the human subject is mapped and remapped by such events.<br>Graduate Studies, College of (Okanagan)<br>Graduate

Abstract:

The dissertation is titled "The trend of zombification in a current film and series production - audience-based research" and is aimed at explaining why people seek zombie themed series and movies. In the theoretical part, the author introduces the concept of a zombie in terms of its dominant position within the popular culture. With the historical background and the theoretical frame of the topic, the results of the audience research, that was focused mainly on the fans of a zombie genre, will be presented. By comparison of the media product discourse and the public discourse, the analysis reve als the hypothesis describing the relationship between the audience and the media content with a zombie theme. The research is based on a qualitative method of grounded theory. The methods of semi-structured interview and participant observation were used to collect the data.

Abstract:

My goal is to study the nature of the Marvelous in René Depestre's Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. I want to demonstrate that René Depestre, in his novel, combines a number of surrealist or neo-surrealist premises that have influenced him as a Haitian writer. This goes beyond differences that can be discerned between the "Surrealist marvelous" endorsed by André Breton and the surrealists, and Alejo Capentier's "marvelous real"later proposed by Jacques Stephen Alexis as "marvelous realism" Depestre adapts Haitian natives' perceptions deep-rooted in their historical and social, cultural and religious past and ever-existing political and economical struggle. Taking into account both the surrealist perspective and the Haitian context, I shall address the complexity of the concept of the Marvelous and discuss Depestre's use of "zombification"as a form of metamorphosis, which preserves the mystical nature of Vodou as a religion that syncretizes the Roman Catholic ritual of exorcism of the Christian West and the animist and magical practices inherited from Africa. Scholars have explored the Marvelous and marvelous realism in Depestre's works as a whole, but not in Hadriana dans tous mes rêves specifically. The exclusive nature of this study will show that Depestre draws from Haiti's complex cultural ethos as well as from surrealism'es key principles, to create a hybrid Marvelous typical of Haiti and Depestre'es aesthetic as a writer.<br>text

Abstract:

The need for researching into ideological sources of contemporary exploitative culture is necessitated by both the outer edge of its interaction with other triggers of modernity, and the inner edge consisting in the answer to the following question: ‘what is an exploitative culture?’. The modernism era gave rise not only to global mass culture, but diverse oppositions of ‘privacy’ and ‘publicity’ categories in their key anthropological images. It seems to us to be no coincidence that exploitative culture is presented by researchers primarily in the anthropological dimension of race and sex. While considering the heroic characters proposed to be scaled for the era of modernism, it is necessary to account for the invariative content, which was reflected in gestalt of the ‘worker’ by E. Junger, and its particular historical variations. We pay our attention to the pedagogical system suggested by A. Makarenko, and the system of fostering actors of the future by V. Meyerhold as projects of the taylorisation of school and theater. The contemporary culture which, as a result of racial protests in the USA, has tended to be attributed with the predicate ‘exploitative’ reveals the exploitative meanings of the worker’s gestalt in the image of the zombie and the phenomenon of zombification associated with it. As a result of this study, conclusions were drawn regarding the continuity of the anonymous image of the ‘worker’ E. Junger and the film image of the zombie as one of modern culture’s most demanded anonymous generalised characters of the masses. Their affinity is as follows: the ‘worker’ of E. Junger is not a social, much less an economic category, it is the most common anthropological metaphore of ‘generic attributes’ to characterise the modernism era, like a zombie character in contemporary mass culture. However, if gestalt of ‘worker’ by E. Junger means the totality of creation of a new world, then the zombie character in contemporary mass culture is associated with the totality of devastation.
