Vampires and popular culture

By: Henze, Eugen

Vampires are a central motif in popular culture and have featured in waves of films in almost every decade of the past century. These portrayals are, however, sometimes the subject of heated debate. An examination of the utopian references within film structures aims to trace the potential social functions of this popular mass medium. Crucial to this are the ideas that revolve around the figure of the blood-sucking revenant and their relationship to the respective social context. In this way, this work seeks to contribute to research in media theory and the social sciences.
