LANUZA-AVELLO, Ana; CABEZUELO LORENZO, Francisco  and  GARCIA-PLAZA VEGAS, Amparo. Critical Analysis of The Walking Dead from the Humanistic Values Perspective. Palabra Clave [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.2, pp.340-359. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2017.20.2.3.

This study focuses on the analysis of the audiovisual production The Walking Dead to verify how this series of fiction uses different thematic and audiovisual resources to propose ideas that we can relate to the Christian worldview and morality. It analyzes the first two seasons of the series, set in a post-apocalyptic context, in which a group of people tries to survive in a world ravaged by a virus that turns men into zombies. The script raises several conflicts raised by this situation between the characters, as well as the evolution of their conscience on the morality of their acts.

Keywords : Television series; post-apocalypse; The Walking Dead; zombies; christianity; audiovisual fiction.
