Consuming Youth: Vampires, Cyborgs, and the Culture of Consumption Paperback - 2002 - 1st Edition
by Robert Latham
First line
In my introduction I focused principally on the political-economic implications of Marx's metaphor of the vampire-cyborg: how it allows a critique of the capitalist factory as an undead machine that feeds upon and incorporates workers' living substance.
From the rear cover
From the novels of Anne Rice to The Lost Boys, from The Terminator to cyberpunk science fiction, vampires and cyborgs have become strikingly visible figures within American popular culture, especially youth culture. In Consuming Youth, Rob Latham explains why, showing how fiction, film, and other media deploy these ambiguous monsters to embody and work through the implications of a capitalist system in which youth both consume and are consumed. Arguing that contemporary images of vampires and cyborgs illuminate the contradictory processes of prosthetic empowerment and predatory exploitation that characterize the youth-consumer system, Latham offers detailed readings of major works of fiction, film, and cultural theory that centrally address issues related to youth, technology, and consumption.
