Zombies are mirrors that reflect our despair and hope.
Zombies have been deeply connected to capitalism since their origins. From Caribbean plantations to consumer capitalism, global capitalism, and financial capitalism, zombies evolve as capitalism evolves. In doing so, zombies transcend mere metaphor and become a reflection of us. From the master of zombie films, George A. Romero, to the "Korean zombies" that have taken the world by storm in films like "Train to Busan" and "Our School." To know zombies is to know ourselves. The second renewal of the print version of "WORKSIGHT," edited and produced by Kurotorisha, is here! (Published by Kokuyo, released by Gakugei Publishing, production cooperation: Kurotorisha)
