Juneau Campus

Dr. Sol Neely, UAS Associate Professor of English

The zombie persists in popular culture as an adaptable literary figure whose dramatic forms intend meanings as varied as they are grotesque. Just in time for Halloween, Dr. Sol Neely offers a reading of culture from the perspective of the monsters it produces. This fun, multimedia presentation offers a genealogy of the zombie from its origins in colonial Haiti through its articulation by George A. Romero and the exploitation genre that it helped spawn. The presentation draws from contemporary critical theory to examine allegory, abjection, and apocalypse in a time of disaster so that we might confront our monstrous economies in an effort to give them up.  

Lectures are free and open to the public.  All lectures begin at 7 p.m. at the Egan Library. All Evening at Egan lectures are offered live via Flash streaming video at UATV as well as Facebook Live.

President Johnsen will be back in Juneau for a second forum on Strategic Pathways-Phase 3 for anyone who has questions or concerns to voice, with a focus on student input.  Free pizza will be available during the event.
