Описание: This lecture is for students of "RELS 297: Apocalypses" at St FX University, Nova Scotia. This week's topic was "Apocalyptic Currents Today: Apocalypses in Contemporary Literature" and our reading was Shayna Sheinfeld's article, "Scenes from the End of the World in American Popular Culture". We discuss how everything we've been learning about ancient Jewish and Christian apocalypses using John J. Collins' definition has some "messy continuity" (Sheinfeld) with post-apocalyptic and dystopic fiction today. We follow Lorenza DiTomasso in shifting from apocalypses as a literary genre to apocalypses as a worldview as a way to more fruitfully compare ancient and modern apocalyptic narratives less in terms of genre and more in terms of social contexts and ways of seeing the world.
