The journal publishes scholarly articles, reviews, information resources, conferences, and other scientific materials; we publish four issues a year. The working languages of the journal are English and Russian. The journal addresses topical issues in the field of Body Studies, corporality and its history, the body in mass culture, and others. In 2020, humanity suddenly faced a serious challenge that threatened its existence. It turned out that the modern world is not yet ready for serious biological challenges. Many people had to reconsider their views on their existence, their ways of survival, and a lot of other things. Many countries have moved to an isolated existence, closing themselves off from others. In some places, foreigners have found themselves in the terrible position of pariahs, being perceived as a biological threat. Since this menace has not gone away, and since in addition to the biological danger it has created many psychological and cultural dysfunctions in society, Corpus Mundi has decided to refer to an old problem rooted in the fear of the unknown—the problem of zombies. We plan a special issue in 2021, to be devoted to a range of different problems: zombies in historical context; history of the origins of the zombie; representations of zombies as a reaction to an encounter with the alien; ethnic 398 SCIENCE FICTION STUDIES, VOLUME 48 (2021) (national) models of ideas about zombies; zombies in fiction and cinematography; zombie apocalypse: new symbols of modernity (the influence of the pandemic on the changes in the discourse on zombies); zombies versus us: the dynamics of the relationship; zombification (bodily practices of zombie image imitation); zombies and mass culture; zombies and zombification as metaphors for manipulative practices of modern society; and digitization of zombies.
