Book
Infected Empires
Given the current moment--polarized populations, increasing climate
fears, and decline of supranational institutions in favor of a
rising tide of nationalisms-- it is easy to understand the
proliferation of apocalyptic and dystopian elements in popular
culture. Infected Empires examines one of the most popular
figures in contemporary apocalyptic film: the zombie. This
harbinger of apocalypse reveals bloody truths about the human
condition, the wounds of history, and methods of contending with
them. Infected Empires considers parallels in the zombie
genre to historical and current events on different political,
theological and philosophical levels, and proposes that the zombie
can be read as a figure of decolonization and an allegory of
resistance to oppressive structures that racialize, marginalize,
disable, and dispose of bodies. Studying films from around the
world, including Latin America, Asia, Africa, the US, and Europe,
Infected Empires presents a vision of a global zombie that
points toward a posthuman and feminist future.

Zombie Bioethics
The authors acknowledge that we do not yet have the technical capability to create such beings, but recent advances in stem cells, gene editing, and artificial uteruses \"provide a pathway to producing living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain.\" The kidneys make urine; the liver makes bile; the immune system fights off infections; wounds heal; hair and fingernails grow; endocrine organs secrete hormones; broken bones heal and broken skin repairs; children grow proportionately as they age. The brain-death criterion was developed by a Harvard Medical School committee in 1968 to free up ICU beds and promote organ transplantation-with death itself forming the foundation of the organ-transplant enterprise. If the latter, why would family members want to be present for that?

Social Responses to Epidemics Depicted by Cinema
Films illustrate 2 ways that epidemics can affect societies: fear leading to a breakdown in sociability and fear stimulating preservation of tightly held social norms. The first response is often informed by concern over perceived moral failings within society, the second response by the application of arbitrary or excessive controls from outside the community.

The (In)Visibility of Black Women and AI in Nnedi Okorafor's 'Spider the Artist'
Even before the recent controversies surrounding Elon Musk and his AI chatbot Grok (Taylor 2025), it was common knowledge that the algorithms governing cybernetic communications systems were biased in terms of class, race, gender, and sexuality, and reflective of the profiles of their designers in Silicon Valley. [...]Facebook has been accused of discriminating against specific racial and religious groups by restricting the visibility of real estate advertisements and not displaying them alongside housing and financial services advertisements for other users (Benner et al 2019). In 2016, an analysis of the search results on Google Images for 'hair styles that are not suitable for work' predominantly depicted black women since AI facial recognition technology is disproportionately imprecise when identifying young black women in comparison to their white male counterparts (Alexander 2016). [...]people will be able to devote more of their time to leisure activities.
