Viral apocalypse: Discourses of spreading and stopping epidemic through the example of zombie film narrative

Based on the point of view that popular culture performs metaphorical
 narration of the contemporary society, this paper analyses the ways in which
 elements of zombie film narratives are used as a representation of
 infectious diseases, that is, representation of the social and institutional
 discourses associated with the occurrence, spreading and stopping of
 epidemics. The narratives of zombie films feature social anxieties regarding
 infectious agents through the discourse of epidemiological apocalypse, due
 to occurrence of an incurable virus, whose development results in the
 potential ending of the civilization.
