Undeath in Paradise: The Humanity of the Zombie in (Religious) Utopias by Madelon Hoedt

Le temps des morts-vivants : formes sérielles et potentiel critique des séries télévisées zombies by Clémentine Hougue

“…If they deal with the same theme - the survival of a group in a world suddenly invaded by the undead -, they do not hold the same discourse. The article thus aims to shed light on the way in which the context of production and broadcasting, and consequently the form and duration of these television series, substantially inform their critical content : after having analyzed the formal aspects of these television objects, it will be a question of defining the image of the « time of the end » that they constitute, by looking at the representation of the undead or of the survivors who face them.…”

Zagłada jako horror. Kilka uwag o literaturze polskiej 1985–2015 by Przemysław Czapliński

“…From the chronological perspective, Czapliński divides those thirty years into three shorter periods: 1) the initial period (from Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah and Jan Błoński’s essay “The Poor Poles Look at the Ghetto” to Wilhelm Dichter’s and Michał Głowiński’s memoirs) was dominated by white horror, which presented Jews as ghosts demanding a place in the Polish memory; 2) during the second period (from Marek Bieńczyk’s Tworki and Jan Tomasz Gross’ Neighbors until the end of the 2010s) the horror poetics was used to reveal those principles of pre-war and occupation-period normality which helped the Germans conduct the Holocaust and which conditioned the exclusion of Jews from the Polish circle of ‘normal humanity’; 3) during the third period (from Gross’s Golden Harvest until now) Jews return as the undead, violating the rules of distance and obliging Poles to physically touch the disgusting topic of the Holocaust. …”
