Bol An exploration of new Gothic, old Gothic, and their intersection with the crises of our own times. This text shows Gothic as it encompasses each new reality, each new apocalypse, each new plague or crisis we are going through. The Gothic has always given fiery expression to times of crisis with its distinctive versions of major social, cultural and climatic upheavals. Forms of the Gothic are now as widely dispersed and flexible as the proliferation of troubles that beset us today from Fukushima and Chernobyl, to 9/11, growing autocracies, COVID with its threatening variants, and climate-driven storms and wildfires. In the seventeen chapters included in this collection, the Gothic’s fantasias, uncanny technologies, and end-of-the world narratives are channelling the major troubles of our own, as well as earlier, times. This dynamic, especially in recent years, has brought about extensive revisions of the Gothic mode in a variety of media that, while they are yet haunted by manifestations of past crises, now include a wide variety of today’s global disruptions.. This collection shows how these crises both inform today’s Gothic modes and reshape the Gothic itself in literature, film, poetry, the graphic novel, television and other media. The Gothic in times of crisis reflects contemporary society, showing how the Gothic modes continually resets its own forms to encompass each new reality, each new apocalypse, each new plague or crisis. This collection expands oncurrent scholarship to show how the Gothic challenges our understanding of both older and recent crises and, in turn, disturbs all genre complacencies to expose and confront the problems and contradictions in what our world has been, has become, or is in danger of becoming. This collection explores Gothic’s current relevance to the contestations of ideas and the underlying and visible conflicts it dramatizes across a wide range of media. In various ways, it reveals what happens to Gothic modes now they confront the increasingly Gothic realities of our times, sometimesby recalling earlier crises and ideological contestations leading up to them.
