Abstract. The article analyzes the Zombie-land metaphor in individual style of the modern American political scientist Henry Giroux. Studying political metaphors in an individual style is relevant since it allows the society to take a fresh look at well-known phenomena and events of world politics. Using methods of conceptual analysis and frame modeling the author identifies the basic frames and slots representing the USA policy as destructive zombie-policy, which is characterized as a form of political violence against the citizens’ rights and freedoms. The analysis indicates that Henry Giroux’s individual style introduces such metaphorical features bringing together the images of zombie and the USA policy as "Tendency to Destruction", "World of Death", "Brain-Eating" and others.
