Translation By Mistwolf:Want to be a real vampire?
The freak writer D.J. Williams researched about communities that exchange blood as food. Twilight and Beyond!
17.03.2011 | By Silvia Marino smarino@clarin.comAnd then there was blood. Many attractive little teeth, and many yes, and many no (1), they kiss (one to each other) or suck their blood and that make it contagious. If the vampiric postulate is not new, from Twilight onwards seems to have invigorated to the extreme. And the "vampiromanía", which in its modern version began with the obligation to hang posters of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, continues its saga with physical consequences: the exchange of blood.
"The self-identified as real vampires are ordinary people who believe they need extra energy to feel good physically, psychologically and spiritually, balanced and healthy. Among them, take that energy from the 'feeding'", explain to Sí! sociologist at the University of Idaho and freak writer D.J. Williams, dedicated for years to investigate the subject.
From Bram Stoker to this part, the fascination plays in favor for the subject. However, the blood subculture (2) of the true vampire had cons in recent decades: the risks such as AIDS. Is everything under control now? Nah. But equal the communities grow. As the Atlanta Vampire Alliance. "Atlanta Vampire Alliance did a research on real vampires. In fact in it´s place (
www.atlantavampirealliance.com) it is possible to contact them directly. I recommend to speak with Merticus"
-Why are you interested in this subculture? -Initially, I spent considerable time with a woman who identified herself as a vampire. Much of my work involves analyzing the social speech that conditions certain groups as this one. Soon, I will collect information on "real vampires" to propose an exchange with doctors and therapists.
D.J. Williams, who has a special section on the subject on his website (
www.deviantleisure.com) also participated in a documentary project of Kirschenbaum Productions in New York. They are waiting for a television network accept the project. Meanwhile, he details that they may have different ages, religions, genders, sexual orientations or occupations. And that they live in different countries. And, the most morbid of the topic, how is the "feeding": "they take small amounts of blood from a partner. And they do it in a safe and consensual way. Can be an intimate experience and very committed."
