To many cultural critics, the preoccupation with zombies and the undead in contemporary narrative is a sign of deeper anxieties in our society. Explain the appeal of these narratives while exploring some of these critical writings. (Note: You are welcome to consider narratives that were not discussed in class, such as The Walking Dead, etc.)
The zombie outbreak is usually considered to be an apocalyptic scenario in which civilization as we know it comes to an end. However, many of the authors in Whitman and Dow's Economics of the Undead: Zombies, Vampires, and the Dismal Science argue that the zombie apocalypse, like war in general, could be a time of tremendous economic opportunity. In your paper, make an argument for the potential economic benefits of a zombie outbreak through a discussion of one or more zombie narratives.
