Cultural Politics in Harry Potter: Life, Death and the Politics of
Fear is the first book-length analysis of topics, such as death,
fear and biopolitics in J.K. Rowling's work from controversial and
interdisciplinary perspectives. This collection brings together
recent theoretical and applied cultural studies and focuses on
three key areas of inquiry: (1) wizarding biopolitics and
intersected discourses; (2) anxiety, death, resilience and trauma;
and (3) the politics of fear and postmodern transformations. As
such, this book: provides a comprehensive overview of national and
gender discourses, as well as the transiting bodies in-between, in
relation to the Harry Potter books series and related multimedia
franchise; situates the transformative power of death within the
fandom, transmedia and film depictions of the Potterverse and
critically deconstructs the processes of subjectivation and
legitimation of death and fear; examines the strategies and
mechanisms through which cultural and political processes are
managed, as well as reminding us how fiction and reality intersect
at junctions, such as terrorism, homonationalism, materialism,
capitalism, posthumanism and technology. Exploring precisely what
is cultural about wizarding politics, and what is political about
culture, this book is key reading for students of contemporary
literature, media and culture, as well as anyone with an interest
in the fictional universe and wizarding world of Harry Potter.
