There are zombies among us! From the rotting hordes of TV's The Walking Dead to the blockbuster nightmare of 28 Days Later, our popular culture is overrun with the ravenous undead. But where do these strange creatures come from? In this fascinating book, artist and writer John Cussans tracks the zombie from Hollywood back to its origins in the voodoo folklore of Haiti. At once a visceral analysis of dubious racial myth, pop-cultural history and philosophical provocation, Undead Uprising asks how voodoo possession and zombie labourers have come to mould Haiti's fascinating national identity.

Knowings and Knots presents a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on the methodology of research-creation and asks how those who make knowledge think about and value it. Not just a method but a site of ongoing experimentation around what counts as knowledge, research-creation is a meeting place of academia, artistic creation, and the wider public. The contributors argue that academic institutions and funders must recognize research-creation as innovative knowledge-making that leaps over the traditional splitting of theory from practice while considering how gender/feminist studies, Indigenous practices, and new materialism might inform and develop the conversation. Through this book, readers can transform the way they experience both art and education. Contributors: Carolina Cambre, Owen Chapman, Paul Couillard, T.L.
