DESCRIPTION: On November 23\,  Maria Sulimma  will give the talk “’I don’t 
 WANT to kill any of you’ - Gendered Discourses of Authority and Authorizati
 on” at Ohio State University. The Talk is hosted by Project Narrative.   Th
 e talk will investigate issues of authorship\, paratextuality\, and authori
 zation practices in regard to  The Walking Dead \, specifically the comic b
 ook series and television show. Due to the genre and the multi-protagonist 
 nature of the franchise\, character deaths are an intrinsic part of its sel
 f-understanding summarized in the repeated mantra ‘No one is safe.’   By in
 vesting author figures with the power to kill or save individual characters
 \, paratexts like DVD bonus materials\, the comic book’s letter column or t
 he after show  Talking Dead  circulate and establish concepts of authorship
  and further interest in the show’s serial continuation\, as well as organi
 ze its position within the franchise.   Further\,  The Walking Dead  sarcas
 tically draws on the theme of survivalism to situate itself within the larg
 er cultural phenomenon of the zombie\, as well as communicate its serial su
 rvival appeal as differentiating it from other zombie narratives.   For mor
