Taking a broad interpretation of supernatural to include anything beyond nature, Global Perspectives on the Liminality of the Supernatural examines the liminality of often-overlooked types of supernatural beings in light of the themes of death and gender. It gives the reader a tour of the continents and takes them out into space, looking at popular culture and mythologies to propose answers to fundamental anthropological questions about humanity, the concept of dead, and how we relate to our own genders when using the supernatural to understand them.

Recenzijas

Global Perspectives on the Liminality of the Supernatural: From Animus to Zombi is a fascinating exploration of contemporary science fiction and the supernatural. It is an engrossing insight into how writers and film makers have explored the possible and impossible to make sense of the world and the many ways humans exist within it. It has expanded my horizons, deepened my understanding and lengthened my reading list. A highly recommended read. -- Kathryn Harkup, PhD, author of Making the Monster: The Science of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
