This volume brings together scholars working in diverse traditions
of the humanities in order to offer a comprehensive analysis of the
environmental catastrophe as the modern-day apocalypse. Drawing on
philosophy, theology, history, literature, art history,
psychoanalysis, as well as queer and decolonial theories, the
authors included in this book expound the meaning of the climate
apocalypse, reveal its presence in our everyday experiences, and
examine its impact on our intellectual, imaginative, and moral
practices. Importantly, the chapters show that eco-apocalypticism
can inform progressively transformative discourses about climate
change. In so doing, they demonstrate the fruitfulness of
understanding the environmental catastrophe from within an
apocalyptic framework, carving a much-needed path between two
unsatisfactory approaches to the climate disaster: first, the
conservative impulse to preserve the status quo responsible for
today's crisis, and second, the reckless acceptance of the
destructive effects of climate change. This book will be an
invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in the
contributions of both apocalypticism and the humanities to
contemporary ecological debates.
