The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic is the most substantial
exploration to date of gothic fiction in the international context.
Examining texts from across six continents, the volume considers
how gothic imagines, colludes with or interrogates relationships
and phenomena that are planetary in scale. Accordingly, 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.
