Drawing on the huge bibliography on Dracula, the book re-reads Bram Stoker's classic as an archive of the modern cultural imaginary in the areas of geopolitics, gender studies, history of medicine and subjugated knowledges, media archeology and performance studies. These areas constellate around the figure of the Undead and its spectral permutations, which are connected to the cultural context of the fin de siècle as well as to the vampire's revivals in the following centuries. In foregrounding the entanglement between the gothic imagination and history, the book suggests a role for the Gothic in shaping both the story-telling and the cultural critique of modernity.
Facendo tesoro dell'ampia bibliografia su Dracula, il volume rilegge il romanzo di Stoker come un archivio dell'immaginario culturale moderno negli ambiti della geopolitica, degli studi di genere, della storia della medicina e dell'occultismo, dell'archeologia dei media e dei performance studies. La figura dell'Undead, fantasma culturale di cui il saggio traccia le svariate permutazioni, è messa in dialogo con il contesto della fin de siècle e con gli innumerevoli revival del mito vampirico nei due secoli successivi, mostrando l'intreccio fra l'immaginario gotico e la Storia.

Abstract
Drawing on the huge bibliography on Dracula, the book re-reads Bram Stoker's classic as an archive of the modern cultural imaginary in the areas of geopolitics, gender studies, history of medicine and subjugated knowledges, media archeology and performance studies. These areas constellate around the figure of the Undead and its spectral permutations, which are connected to the cultural context of the fin de siècle as well as to the vampire's revivals in the following centuries. In foregrounding the entanglement between the gothic imagination and history, the book suggests a role for the Gothic in shaping both the story-telling and the cultural critique of modernity.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
