Zombie Geographies and the Undead City by Jeff May

In this essay, the author examines the relationship between zombie bodies and the post-outbreak cityscape. From a geographical standpoint, the author argues that zombies showcase "bodies-cities theory," that is, the mutually constitutive relationship between a city and its inhabitants. As I have discussed in the section on Scene 2: Alienation, when the zombie apocalypse strikes, London essentially ceases to exist. No, London does not vanish in the sense that the city is demolished; instead, without people, London simply isn't London.
