Summary/Abstract: In this article I describe how “different” and “inclusion” act in texts of popular culture on example of the living dead concept. I claim that the living dead is a political category. There is a story about naked life which is designated to be a biopolitical substantiation. The paradigm for the concept of a living dead is a concentration camp.
