Sex, machines and navels
The object of anxiety and desire appears the same: a horrifying or eroticised technology takes sexual energy beyond sex, beyond corporeality and beyond difference in an ultimate obliteration of every human trace. Sex and machines, then, seem highly appropriate (if overly fashionable) topics for a discussion of representations of organic and artificial systems. But the third term - navels - interrupts the comfortable conjunction or clear dissociat…

Theorising globalgothic
Globalisation has led to a new way of thinking about gothic production: globalgothic. The global market of signs, images and commodities energises globalgothic interactions. As a result globalgothic operates as a locus, frequently an obscure locus, of world exchanges, and also points to the context in which messages, meanings, responses and reactions take shape. Globalgothic asks vital questions about the decentring of power. For while it can be …
Gothic
This enduringly popular book has become a classic in the expanding and increasingly popular field of Gothic Studies. This long awaited new edition contains a new chapter on ‘Contemporary Gothic’, an expanded section on American Gothic and more discussion of the gothic in women’s film and writing throughout the book. It is also updated in relation to media and technology with further discussion of stage sensations and photography as well as engagi…
Undead-Ends
This essay examines the ways in which contemporary economic discourse uses the zombie metaphor. It situates these uses in relation to the current resurgence of zombies in popular fiction and film, and distinguishes zombies from vampires: while the former signifies global debt and stagnation, the latter connotes credit and consumer boom. It argues that the arc of desire and fear engendered by these figures of horror discloses a continuity in the a…
The Cambridge Companion to Popular Fiction
Popular commercial fiction emerged in the nineteenth century, with serialised novels and sensational penny dreadfuls. Today it remains a multi-million dollar industry giving pleasure to many, but it is also a field of growing interest for scholars and students of literature. This Companion covers the major developments in the history of popular fiction, with specially commissioned chapters on pulp fiction, bestsellers, and comics and graphic narr…

Gothic Terms, Themes, Concepts and Contexts
Just as THE UNCANNY offers a connection to the structure of the unconscious, the abject offers a sensation of horror that connects us viscerally to the experience of repression and the process of subject formation. For Julia Kristeva, in Powers of Horror, abjection disturbs ‘identity, system, order’ and is characterised by ‘the in-between, the ambiguous, the composite’.
Gothic Romanced
Introduction: From Gothic to Romance 1. Romance, Ruins and the Thing: from the romantic sublime to cybergothic 2. Romance Consumed: death, simulation and the vampire 3. Poor Things as They Are: Political Romance from Gray to Godwin 4. Flight of the Heroine: from Female Gothic to Postfeminism 5. Monsters of the Imagination: Science, Fiction, Romance 6. Resistance is Futile: Romance and the Machine Bibliography
Gothic
Tailored specifically for students new to the daunting field of literary theory, Fred Botting's Gothic is a clear and welcome introduction to the study of this compelling genre. This lucid, easy-to-follow guide: * Explains the transformations of the genre through history * Outlines all the major figures which define the genre, such as ghosts, monsters and vampires * Charts key texts over two centuries * Traces origins of the form * Looks at the c…
Fcuk Speed
Situating Virilio's discussions of optical and martial technologies in relation to psychoanalytic and post‐structuralist notions of human subjectivity, the essay analyses the significance and effects of branding as an example of hypermodernity's evacuation and reformulation of identity

Metaphors and monsters
Neither poetry nor creativity, neither technology nor experimentation, are what or where they used to be. Metaphor and monstrosity, as manifested by the power and pervasiveness of code in information theory, biotechnological practice and cultural representation, are tellingly transformed in the shift from modernity to hypermodernity. Frankenstein, an inaugural and persistent myth of modern monstrosity, continues to inform and disturb popular fasc…

The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction
Gothic as a form of fiction-making has played a major role in Western culture since the late eighteenth century. In this volume, fourteen world-class experts on the Gothic provide thorough and revealing accounts of this haunting-to-horrifying type of fiction from the 1760s (the decade of The Castle of Otranto, the first so-called 'Gothic story') to the end of the twentieth century (an era haunted by filmed and computerized Gothic simulations). Al…

Dreaming Real
By Accident
This article interrogates postmodern and Levinasian conceptions of ethics with recourse to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and certain psychoanalytical concepts formulated in Jacques Lacan's Ethics of Psychoanalysis. Since Levinas, ethical thinking has, in some quarters, moved away from conventional questions about moral agency, rights and social justice, on to a concern towards the ultimate unknowability of 'the other'. Ethics depends, for Le…

The Bataille reader
The idea of editing a Bataille Reader in 320 pages might sound unthinkable to any French scholars of Bataille. Similar collection has never been appeared in France. The reason for such absence might be due to the complexity of the thought of Bataille and the voluminous nature of his writings. Once a devoted theology student, a libertine, a surrealist dissident, chief organizer for "College de Sociologie", founder of secret society "Acephale" and …
Relations of the Real in Lacan, Bataille and Blanchot
THE REAL IS A SLIPPERY THING. That is, if it in the first place, and if it a thing in the second. Lacan's is no less slippery. Frequently discussed as the Real, or elevated to the status of concept-the Real Order, its definite place or theoretical definition rather goes against its elusive and apparently indeterminable nature. Indeed, the irony of using the definitive article with a capitalized noun for something that seems so utterly indefinite …
