DESCRIPTION:Please join for the second keynote lecture of Living Dead Under Settler Colonialism: A Zombie Symposium for the Liberal Arts by Camilla Fojas\, "Zombies and Crisis Capitalism in Pop Culture." The zombie is an overarching metaphor whose presence across the popular culture landscape lends insight into our most abiding fears and preoccupations\, particularly about the end-times\, the apocalypse\, and political crises. Zombies signify the collapse of all that structures social relations: the state\; national and international institutions and organizations\; militaries\; and forms of capitalism\, consumerism\, and industry. Camilla Fojas explores several zombie films and TV shows that capture the fear and anxiety about the end of a way of life based in capitalism. In this media\, the zombie signifies the persistence of forms of exchange that replace the money system but remain tied to forms of debt\, indebtedness\, and indentured servitude. The system ends\, but its zombified remainders persist.\nFree and open to the public.\n\n\nCamilla Fojas is Foundation Professor and director of the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. Her research explores mediated cultures of the Americas and the Pacific through the axes of empire\, security and race within the context of the expanding borders of the United States and with a specific focus on the U.S.-Mexico border. She is the author of Border Optics: Surveillance Cultures on the US-Mexico Frontier and Zombies\, Migrants\, and Queers: Race and Crisis Capitalism in Pop Culture.\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/8907
