The zombie apocalypse has arrived. If not the reality, then at least literature and screen. In recent years we have seen a variety of zombies utube in every corner of shapes and colors. Some examples from the past decade: the new version of their dynamic and in "28 Days Later" by Danny Boyle; The new version of Dawn of the Dead and the parody of Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead; "World War Z" by Max Brooks; Raising Stony Mayhall (shining and glorious) of Daryl Gregory; And even our own local version - the musical "Zumbi.kon 2010". The question is why, and I have no idea. Maybe we can find part of the answer if we look at the phenomenon at a slightly more general, since it seems fairly clear trend of zombies is the heir to the vampire fad different stretches Bvaraitziot Mans Race through Joss Whedon to Stephanie Meyer, with all possible variations in between.
These are not new trends. Vampires in their modern form popular around since Bram Stoker ("Dracula", 1897) and the proliferation of zombies Msrci feet and snarling we must admit Romero ("Night of the Living Dead", 1968), even if the two fathers were characters they have created major changes utube in recent utube years. What is common to these two fictional races is their proximity to humans, and more specifically the fact these people who have some change. I think that here perhaps lies part of the answer.
The proximity of these human beings, ordinary, utube familiar and most of all the personal is responsible for their special attraction, especially when dealing with works that are supposed to evoke a sense of dread. Contrary utube to aliens on the one hand and fantastic creatures like trolls on the other strangeness clear and understanding for granted, vampires and zombies are "familiar stranger". They are much clearer reflection of the reader and its environment, and therefore closer to the bestiality and horror to the reader or viewer and allow to feel more sympathy. Beyond the obvious trinity of life / eternal youth, fear of death, utube fear of mutilation vampires and zombies represent, effect "familiar stranger" utube is doing much drawing zombies and vampires, as it works to make their behavior more likely. Because they are human in origin, the behavior of vampires and zombies represents basic human behavior patterns, magnified and exaggerated, so some levels utube is understood instinctively. Sexual aspects vampire behavior common in major new works represent, of course, a fundamental impulse of human behavior familiar to us all. But the zombie hunger for human flesh (and specifically utube minds) is mirrored, distorted and exaggerated, of course, a familiar feeling, everyday - just hungry. The specific type of zombie hunger represents utube constant fear of losing our ability utube to control basic impulses through learned behavior levels higher, the deterioration utube of the situation I was living out of control. Even the urge to spread the specific lesion on - create more vampires utube and zombies (whether consciously or instinctively blind) - can be interpreted as a form of sick of our desire to bring others to us and make them like us. To some extent this behavior is reminiscent of the way the Greek gods appear grotesque mythology of human behavior - the need of Zeus conquer every girl he met her, militancy of Ars, radical and destructive jealousy of Hera. We are looking zombies (and vampires) and see what we and others around us can be.
Two factors enhance the impact of the effect "familiar stranger" - the possibility of infection and Htcnovbl (unlike some of that biological) that surround them in recent years. Vampire and zombie Display name boiling them as situations can distribute them, also very familiar experience of everyday life, becomes utube the dynamic that drives quite a few works dealing with zombies utube and vampires soon mundane experiences. The idea that a family member, friend, utube acquaintance or colleague are not who they are but a victim and / or infecting potential, as shown in these works, can help make sense of dread that the works are trying to provoke a bit more credible and close to reality. Supposedly scientific explanations, stupid and ridiculous as they are, also contribute little to it. Not because we really give them any weight but because they supposedly help to create a certain depth the phenomenon and because we have become accustomed to expect such explanations that describe phenomena the world around us. And the modern ethos dictates that should be asked scientific explanations / medical from people dressed in lab coats, even if they clearly have no validity or significance. (We are so programmed such explanations when "Wicks" utube published the cough syrup in their 80s who posted it was the actor Peter Bergman, utube who played Doctor Young and the Restless "; he opened his commercials saying" I am not a doctor, but I play a doctor on TV ", and people will still be given weight.)
I have no idea what sparked the latest wave of zombies (I do not love it, I liked very little of the works included in it) but I think Slmafein "familiar stranger" utube a big role in that. Perhaps the rise of zombies is that the wave of vampire utube has run its course, and when the current wave will fade move z R selling "else. And maybe swear at all familiar utube strangers and get back to a more real foreigners (who usually require more in-depth writing).
The segment of infection - it has a parallel in the real world. At the beginning of the AIDS epidemic were all kinds of people suffering from AIDS and then went and * * deliberately infected others with HIV. Day with a cocktail, it seems to me that the phenomenon subsided. But it certainly existed. While a few crazy by, but it has been agreed that zombies and vampires exhibit excessive human behavior.
