    Kim, Taehyung. “The Narrative of Patriarchy in Zombie Dramas: An Analysis of Masculinity and Fatherhood in The Walking Dead.” Studies in English Language & Literature 47.2 (2021): 1-22. The research examines the logic of the patriarchal society that runs throughout the narrative of the television series The Walking Dead. Males in the zombified world often strike out the living dead through violence, which affects people’s sometimes unethical and deadly behaviors toward other human beings. The family and community also take advantage of such masculine violence for their survival. The protagonist of the series, Rick Grimes, becomes the head of the family and survivor group by eliminating or winning over competitors for the name of the father. Rick’s son, Carl, stands up for his biological father among other father figures, supporting Rick’s patrilineal system. Women in the community need toughness and masculinity to adapt to the changed circumstances; mother figures in Rick’s family die providing house work, which is especially undervalued in a zombie apocalypse. Carl has to decide not between his mother and his father in an Oedipal triad but between fathers as a consequence of his mother’s absence. The logic of patriarchy takes up the main narrative of the series, and the longing for the missing Rick ultimately proves the father’s symbolic authority in his absence. (Kunsan National University)
