La pendular subjetividad del zombi
Resumen
¿Qué podría explicar la popularidad de los zombis en los últimos años? El cuerpo del zombi se ha convertido en un recipiente que acoge y desplaza una serie de miedos que sufren las sociedades contemporáneas, como el contagio y la enfermedad, la mortalidad y los desastres medioambientales. Estas fuerzas impulsan una manera de ahondar y empezar a conceptualizar varias cuestiones teóricas dentro de la noción de la identidad zombi. El zombi ha pasado de disfrutar de cierta subjetividad en sus orígenes a perder la singularidad al convertirse en un colectivo sin cerebro, con el único propósito de devorar carne humana. Sin embargo, queremos retomar la naturaleza del zombi y sus implicaciones en relación con las ideas de subjetividad. A través de varias propuestas estéticas recientes, proponemos revelar la subjetividad pendular del zombi e ilustrar cómo las identidades pendulares son la base de una posición subjetiva profunda y más bien frágil.
