Accordingly, the thirty-one chapters address gothic engagements with - among others - resource imperialism, (ongoing) colonial history, diasporic identity, buckling economic unions, the rise of the internet, enthnonationalism and entangled systems of gendered, racialised and ecocidal power. In this way, the collection moves decisively beyond the framework of globalisation to identify a range of new globalgothic approaches and modes, overall demonstrating that gothic is a key - though sometimes complicit - register for negotiating the challenges and histories of our uneven global present. Rebecca Duncan is Research Fellow at the Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, where she co-ordinates the 'Aesthetics of Empire' Research Cluster.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50406033129745,"sku":"NGR9781399510585","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51024397336849,"sku":"NIN9781399510585","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399510584.jpg?v=1768560639"},{"product_id":"cambridge-companion-to-world-gothic-literature-book-rebecca-duncan-9781009382588","title":"The Cambridge Companion to World-Gothic Literature","description":"Monsters have always swarmed around the frontiers of colonialism and capitalism, from Europe's invasion and occupation of the Americas to the planetary emergency of the present day.

Gothic did not begin in Britain, and then become global over time.

Together, chapters provincialise the 'western' gothic tradition, in order to open up new possibilities for world-gothic reading.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52496991453457,"sku":"NGR9781009382588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53103293137169,"sku":"NLS9781009382588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53444524409105,"sku":"NIN9781009382588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781009382588.jpg?v=1766656881"},{"product_id":"south-african-gothic-book-rebecca-duncan-9781786832467","title":"South African Gothic","description":"The first book-length study of its kind, South African Gothic maps the poetics, origins and functions of an underexplored Gothic tradition in South African literary imaginaries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52535560110353,"sku":"NLS9781786832467","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781786832467.jpg?v=1760671524"},{"product_id":"cambridge-companion-to-world-gothic-literature-book-rebecca-duncan-9781009382564","title":"The Cambridge Companion to World-Gothic Literature","description":"Monsters have always swarmed around the frontiers of colonialism and capitalism, from Europe's invasion and occupation of the Americas to the planetary emergency of the present day.
