Jørgen Riber Christensens Kødet som abjekt hos Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. (Flesh as abject in Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) en overraskende romanbestseller, hvori Jane Austens klassiske og populære roman er omskrevet ved tilføjelse af en zombieinvasion. The article examines how Seth Grahame-Smith's bestseller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies from 2009 has reformulated the repressed carnality and libido in Pride and Prejudice into a Thanatos drive, in which the zombies' cannibalistic urge for human flesh dominates the new version of the novel. The article seeks to answer three questions: What are zombies?, How and why have the nubile Bennett daughters been reformulated to zombie slayers par excellence? And what genre relationship has the novel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice from 1813? The answers to the three questions are looked for in Julia Kristevas' theories about bodily abjects, the concept of action chicks and in Gérard Genette's textual typology.
