In Roman religion, Terminus was an agrarian god who protected
boundary markers. Stones were often used to provide an effective
means for marking these boundaries, although a stump or a tree
sometimes served to demarcate adjacent properties. The need to
demarcate boundaries and define ends continues to shape our way of
thinking at the most fundamental level. The articles in this book
investigate, among other things, developments in literature, film,
historiography, and new digital entertainment, to see how they
reflect cultural anxieties about 'the end' and/or how they are
determined by the need to mark boundaries. The contributions are
organized so that they reflect thematic, national, and
chronological perspectives. But, they also show that it is possible
to identify several threads of continuity in the way that 'the end'
has been conceptualized. By examining ideas of culmination,
conclusion, closure, finale, and termination - from the perspective
of a number of various genres, cultural formations, and historical
contexts - these essays on 'terminus' show how endings are carriers
of meaning in social and cultural contexts. (Series:
