Global Perspectives on the Liminality of the Supernatural 
From Animus to Zombi

Taking a broad interpretation of ‘;supernatural’ to include anything beyond nature, Global Perspectives on the Liminality of the Supernatural examines the liminality of often-overlooked types of supernatural beings in light of the themes of death and gender. It gives the reader a tour of the continents and takes them out into space, looking at popular culture and mythologies to propose answers to fundamental anthropological questions about humanity, the concept of ‘;dead, ‘ and how we relate to our own genders when using the supernatural to understand them.
