Lorsqu'en 1922, le réalisateur allemand E W. Murnau réalise une des toutes premières adaptations cinématographiques de Dracula, le roman de Bram Stoker, il rebaptise le vampire en Nosferatu. Chef-d'oeuvre du cinéma muet expressionniste, son film reste à ce jour une des réussites les plus envoûtantes du cinéma fantastique. Depuis lors, de nombreux films ont poursuivi l'éloge du célèbre vampire, abandonnant le plus souvent la sombre mélancolie de Murnau pour donner libre cours à une imagination délirante mêlant calèches au galop dans la nuit, château médiéval, chauve-souris inquiétantes, jeunes femmes hurlant de terreur, effets de cape et rivières de sang.Cependant, de Nosferatu aux innombrables Draculas, il n'y a pas qu'un jeu de patronymes. Il importe dès lors de reprendre le dossier à sa source pour tenter de répondre à cette question essentielle : d'où viennent les vampires ?

Race in the Vampire Narrative unpacks the vampire through a collection of classroom ready original essays that explicitly connect this archetypal outsider to studies in race, ethnicity, and identity. Through essays about the first recorded vampire craze, television shows True Blood , and Being Human , movies like Blade: Trinity and Underworld , to the presentation of vampires of colour in romance novels, graphic novels, on stage and beyond, this text will open doorways to discussions about Otherness in any setting, serving as an alternative way to explore marginality through a framework that welcomes all students into the conversation. Vampires began as terrors, nightmares, the most horrifying of creatures; now they are sparkly antiheroes more likely to kill your dog than drink you to death; commodified, absorbed, and defanged. Race in the Vampire Narrative demonstrates that the vampire serves as a core metaphor for the constructions of race, and the ways in which we identify, manufacture, and commodify marginalized groups. By drawing together disparate discussions of non-white vampires in popular culture, the collection illustrates the ways in which vampires can be used to explicitly help students understand ethnicity in the modern world making this the perfect companion text to any course from First Year Studies, Sociology, History, Cultural Studies, Women’s Studies, Criminal Justice, and so much more.
