“Dead Man Walking and The Zombie Obsession”
Recently In Zimbabwe, mourners attending a funeral recently were stunned when the “dead” man came back to life. According “Family and friends were filing past a coffin with the remains of a loved one when one of them noticed the dead man’s legs twitching. The man was alive and It’s fortunate that he recovered in time, though not quite a miracle. Stories of people assumed dead but waking up just before burial are weird, but are more common than most people think.
Consciousness does not suddenly stop when the heart stops beating, and people who appear dead in some cases may not be. Cases of people who were presumed dead but woke up shortly before burial — or, in some horrific cases, shortly after burial — have been around for millennia, and may have contributed to belief in vampires and zombies.
Why are obsessed with zombies and the dead? We seem to have this cultural fixation on fictionalizing our own death, very specifically mass-scale destruction.
Zombies are important as a reflection of ourselves. The ethical decisions that the survivors have to make under duress and the actions that follow those choices are very unlike anything they would have done in their normal state of life. Zombie apocalypse tales actually invoke hope amidst destruction and death, as survivors battle for their lives. Even if as a society we have lost a lot of our belief in a positive future and instead have more of an idea of a disaster to come, we still think that we are survivors, we still want to believe that we would survive. But our fears and obsessions over these things are like zombies in a way, they can eat at your brain – just think about it…
