Abstract
The class-consciousness of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula and Sheridan LeFanu’s novella Carmilla is yet to be comprehensively explored in terms of elucidating the inextricable link between Victorian vampire and industrial capital. Established Marxian tropes in Dracula and overlooked in Carmilla, such as capital, labour, class conflict, commodity fetishism and the bourgeois work ethic, require attention and reinterpretation; while undetected ones in both fictions, commodity circulation, estrangement, animalisation, emasculation, factory working conditions, child exploitation and industrial impoverishment of soil call for a thorough examination. Furthermore, the neglected potential of female vampires as sanguinary capitalists within the framework of nineteenth-century political economy is also established in this thesis. Thus, in applying relevant (post)Marxist ideas of economy and political philosophy to a materialist reading of Stoker’s and LeFanu’s works of Gothic horror, an unprecedented relationship is set up between Victorian vampire and industrial capitalism.
Abstract (croatian)
Klasna svijest u romanu Drakula Brama Stokera i noveli Carmilla Sheridana LeFanua ostaje i dalje nedovoljno istražena u smislu rasvjetljivanja zamršene veze između viktorijanskoga vampira i industrijalnoga kapitala. Marksistički tropi ustanovljeni u Drakuli, a zanemareni u Carmilli, kao što su kapital, rad, klasna borba, fetišizam robe i buržoazijska radna etika, zahtijevaju pozornost i reinterpretaciju. Neopaženi marksistički tropovi u oba djela, kruženje robe, otuđenje, animalizacija, škopljenje, radni uvjeti u tvornicama, izrabljivanje djece i industrijsko osiromašenje zemlje, također iziskuju temeljitu analizu. Nadalje, u ovome se radu afirmira zanemareni potencijal ženskog vampira kao krvnog kapitalista u kontekstu političke ekonomije devetnaestoga stoljeća. Stoga, primjenom relevantnih (post)marksističkih djela ekonomije i političke filozofije na materijalističku interpretaciju Stokerova i LeFanuova djela gotičkog horora, uspostavlja se dosad nezabilježena veza između viktorijanskog vampira i industrijalnog kapitalizma.
