This book reflects on how recent Gothic studies have foregrounded a plethora of technologies associated with Gothic literary and cultural production. Essays explore the links between technologies and the proliferation of the Gothic in a range of texts and tropes, such as the machinery of Steampunk or the corporeal modifications of Edward Scissorhands, and they ask how techno-science has contributed to the spread of the Gothic: in social media, digital technologies, virtual communities, or Gothic-horror cinema. This book explores how Gothic technologies textualize identities and construct communities within a network of power relations in local, national, transnational, and global contexts.
