Abstract
COLSON WHITEHEAD ’S ZONE ONE () POPULARIZED A NEW KIND OF zombie: neither the slow, lumbering, hungry zombies made famous in George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead () nor the more recently introduced fast zombies of Days Later () and World War Z (), but the time-loop zombie compulsively repeating a habitual action. Whitehead’s “stragglers”—a succession of imponderable tableaux frequently consisting of bodies going through the motions of their everyday labor—shift the zombie’s instinctive drive from hunger to a blend of habit and nostalgia. At the same time, they introduce into the zombie narrative
期刊介绍：
The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future. Centennial Review is published three times a year under the editorship of Scott Michaelsen (Department of English, Michigan State University) and David E. Johnson (Department of Comparative Literature, SUNY at Buffalo). The journal recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas.
