Abstract
Migracije su jedan od centralnih diskursa savremenog društva: one su katalizator socijalnih promena, utiču na promenu socijalne strukture, odnosa i položaja, kako samih migranata, tako i stanovnika zemalja domaćina. U okolnostima epidemije zombija razlozi i ciljevi migriranja mogu biti pojednostavljeni na jedan osnovni motiv: napuštanje i izbegavanje predela zahvaćenih zombijima zbog preživljavanja. Smatram da mogućnost odlaska predstavlja mogućnost preživljavanja, što direktno utiče na formiranje mreža novih društvenih odnosa, samim tim i opstanka društva. Tom logikom, migracije se pojavljuju kao jedan od osnovnih metoda preživljavanja u zombi narativu, odnosno kao osnovni metod reizgradnje i redefinisanja društvenog sistema. Iako postoje različiti pristupi migracijama, autori koji proučavaju ovo polje ne spominju niti istražuju migracije predstavljene u popularnoj kulturi. Istovremeno, autori koji se bave proučavanjem filmova sa tematikom zombija ne posvećuju svoju pažnju... procesu migracija. Rad ukazuje na jednu vrstu “izmišljenih” migracija, odnosno na oblik migracija koje svojim metaforičkim narativom prikazuju obrasce bliske obrascima koje primećujemo u savremenom društvu. Analiziraju se oblici migracija koji se pojavljuju u popkulturnom narativu, odnosno, prikazuju načini na koje se teorijski koncepti upotrebljavani da definišu vrste migracija u stvarnim društvenim tokovima, mogu upotrebiti i pri analizi narativa zombi filmova.

Migrations are one of the central discourses of contemporary society: they are the catalyst of social change; they influence changes in social structure, relations and positions, for migrants themselves as well as the residents of host countries. In the circumstances of a zombie outbreak the reasons and goals of migration can be simplified to one basic motive: leaving and avoiding areas populated by zombies with the aim of basic survival. I believe that the possibility of leaving represents the possibility of survival, which directly influences the formation of new networks of social relations, and thus, the survival of society. Following this logic, migrations emerge as one of the basic methods of survival in the zombie narrative, or rather, the basic method of rebuilding and redefining the social system. Even though there are different approaches to migration, authors who study this field do not mention or study migration represented in popular culture. At the same time,... authors who study zombie movies do not give their attention to the process of migration. The paper points to a specific form of “invented” migrations, or rather a form of migration which, through its metaphorical narration displays patterns similar to patterns visible in contemporary society. The paper will analyze forms of migration which appear in pop-culture narratives, or rather, display the ways in which theoretical concepts use to define types of migration in real social contexts can be used to analyze the narratives of zombie movies.
