The Psychic of Necropower in “The Walking Dead” and “Zone One”

Eva Cherniavsky is Andrew R. Hilen Professor of American Literature and Culture at the University of Washington.

Her current research centers on transformations in citizenship — as a legal and juridical formation; as a normative category of political identity and a variegated field of cultural and political disidentification — in the context of wider transformations, particularly the delinking of nation (as imagined community) from state (as administrative apparaturs), and the declining position of the bourgeoisie in the emergent class structures of transnational capital.
