Om The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic

The most substantial exploration to date of gothic fiction in the international context Examining texts from across six continents, The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic considers how gothic imagines, colludes with or interrogates relationships and phenomena that are planetary in scale. Accordingly, the thirty-one chapters address gothic engagements with - among others - resource imperialism, (ongoing) colonial history, diasporic identity, buckling economic unions, the rise of the internet, enthnonationalism and entangled systems of gendered, racialised and ecocidal power. In this way, the collection moves decisively beyond the framework of globalisation to identify a range of new globalgothic approaches and modes, overall demonstrating that gothic is a key - though sometimes complicit - register for negotiating the challenges and histories of our uneven global present. Rebecca Duncan is Research Fellow at the Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, where she co-ordinates the 'Aesthetics of Empire' Research Cluster.
