Examines the use of metaphors of monstrosity and the place of the dead in political theory, specifically in relation to conservatism, Marxism and fascism.
This analysis explores the use of metaphors of monstrosity and death in the work in some of the most prominent political theorists. In particular, the crucial role of monster metaphors in the works of Hobbes, Heidegger, and Carl Schmitt is examined, as well as the role of these metaphors in various political systems, such as conservatism, Marxism, and fascism. The image of the vampire in Marx and its relation to his concept of dead labor and capital is also addressed along with a remarkable investigation of the contemporary construction of modern day social and political "monsters."
