Nosferatu: A Performance and History of The Antisemite’s Jew by Eli Gale proposes Nosferatu as a fundamental example of the performance of the antisemitic fantasy. Researching Vampire and Plague Histories in correlation with historical and modern European Antisemitism, the essay identifies Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) as a performative foreshadow of the dehumanization to be come in the following decade. Replicating the belief system of the author rather than the Jewish people themselves, Gale utilizes performance critical theory and race theory to extricate the racist history that informs Gothic Vampires.
