The role of male privilege in society is one which threads its way through contemporary sociopolitical issues. The historical context of these debates can still be felt post-9/11moving into the worldwide political shifts of 2016. The consideration of these elements has long been utilized in the zombie cinematic genre, a place where apocalyptic events force both individual protections and group survival psychologies. Through contemporary research into the areas of male privilege, films such as Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later (2003), which considers the role of survival within a protection of the military unit, will be juxtaposed with texts such as Jake West’s Danny Dyer starring Doghouse (2009) and more contemplative works such as The Girl With All the Gifts (2016) and Maggie (2015). These texts will be contextualized alongside key considerations of the historical frameworks of male privilege but also the movements which are still fighting for an equality both in contemporary society and the postmillennial zombie apocalypse.

摘要

The role of male privilege in society is one which threads its way through contemporary sociopolitical issues. The historical context of these debates can still be felt post-9/11moving into the worldwide political shifts of 2016. The consideration of these elements has long been utilized in the zombie cinematic genre, a place where apocalyptic events force both individual protections and group survival psychologies. Through contemporary research into the areas of male privilege, films such as Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later (2003), which considers the role of survival within a protection of the military unit, will be juxtaposed with texts such as Jake West’s Danny Dyer starring Doghouse (2009) and more contemplative works such as The Girl With All the Gifts (2016) and Maggie (2015). These texts will be contextualized alongside key considerations of the historical frameworks of male privilege but also the movements which are still fighting for an equality both in contemporary society and the postmillennial zombie apocalypse.
