Digging Up the Dead: What Vampire Panics Reveal About Power
In our first podcast of this series, we discuss with Prof. John Blair, around his latest book Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World, published by Princeton University Press. John Blair reconstructs a world in which the dead were not metaphor but menace. His book follows the concept of restless bodies which stirred various social anxieties and created symbolic meanings.
