New Publication: Gothic Remixed

We are pleased to announce the imminent publication of
Gothic Remixed: Monster Mashups and Frankenfictions in 21st-Century Culture
, by iPIC-affiliated
Megen de Bruin-Molé
. The book explores the boundaries and connections between contemporary remix and related modes, including adaptation, parody, the Gothic, Romanticism, and postmodernism. De Bruin-Molé argues that popular remix creations are the 'monsters' of our age, lurking at the limits of responsible consumption and acceptable appropriation. Taking a multimedia approach, case studies range from novels like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and
The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club
series, to television programmes such as
Penny Dreadful
, to popular visual artworks like Kevin J. Weir's
Flux Machine GIFs
.
Gothic Remixed
will be published by Bloomsbury Academic on Halloween 2019. Join us for launch events at Winchester School of Art on Thursday, 31st October (5pm in LTA), and on 14th November at
The Second Shelf
bookshop in London.
