Deux millénaires se sont écoulés depuis la mort du Christ et le monde est devenu fou. Prophètes nihilistes, pornographes illuminés, schizophrènes transcendantaux, messies en tous genres sont unis par leur foi en une catastrophe planétaire imminente. Quelles sont les forces en action derrière ce délire de masse ? Apocalypse Culture présente un panorama complet, édifiant et troublant des territoires psychotiques d'aujourd'hui. Comme le dit J. G. Ballard : "Apocalypse Culture est une lecture fascinante pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la crise majeure que traverse notre époque. Une compilation extraordinaire comme j'en ai rarement lue. Voici les documents définitifs qui nous renseignent sur la folie terminale du XXe siècle."

"What did Adam Parfrey do for me? There are certain books in your life that just blow your f*cking mind. Apocalypse Culture did it! It pulled me into the world of sort of artistic, morbid, fascinating, speculative science, and weirdness, you know, types of art that I've never conceived of or understood. But Apocalypse Culture sent me spiraling into that, into a lot of different areas, and I was just thrilled because he (Adam) was a mythological person to me, some sort of dark overlord of important information that nobody else had." Marc Maron Apocalypse Culture was the first official Feral House publication in 1989 and has remained in print since that day. It has been equally lauded and scorned. Countless artists, writers, thinkers, and publishing companies have cited Apocalypse Culture as opening their minds to entirely new and extreme points of view and ways of being. The book has been blamed for the rise of MAGA, Q-Anon, Alex Jones, and every bad thing about modern American society. How can one book be the catalyst for such a cultural shift? In fact, Apocalypse Culture remains today as it was in 1989 -- a document of our past, present, and future. Within its pages are stories and reportage from the fringes of American society where viewed in hindsight, they were about to break through to mainstream culture. And maybe a few that are yet to slip into the mainstream. What Parfrey did know in 1989 and still holds true is that the story of America and its culture is never as heroically pure as one may believe. The Deluxe Edition of Apocalypse Culture is hardbound and slipcased. It contains updated images, many in full-color, and a new introduction by XXXXX. "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." W.B. Yeats

In Post-Apocalyptic Culture, Teresa Heffernan poses the question: what is at stake in a world that no longer believes in the power of the end? Although popular discourse increasingly understands apocalypse as synonymous with catastrophe, historically, in both its religious and secular usage, apocalypse was intricately linked to the emergence of a better world, to revelation, and to disclosure. In this interdisciplinary study, Heffernan uses modernist and post-modernist novels as evidence of the diminished faith in the existence of an inherently meaningful end. Probing the cultural and historical reasons for this shift in the understanding of apocalypse, she also considers the political implications of living in a world that does not rely on revelation as an organizing principle. With fascinating readings of works by William Faulkner, Don DeLillo, Ford Madox Ford, Toni Morrison, E.M. Forster, Salman Rushdie, D.H. Lawrence, and Angela Carter, Post-Apocalyptic Culture is a provocative study of how twentieth-century culture and society responded to a world in which a belief in the end had been exhausted.

Our fear of the world ending, like our fear of the dark, is ancient, deep-seated and perennial. It crosses boundaries of space and time, recurs in all human communities and finds expression in every aspect of cultural production - from pre-historic cave paintings to high-tech computer games. This volume examines historical and imaginary scenarios of apocalypse, the depiction of its likely triggers, and imagined landscapes in the aftermath of global destruction. Its discussion moves effortlessly from classic novels including Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake, to blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Armageddon and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Lisboa also takes into account religious doctrine, scientific research and the visual arts to create a penetrating, multi-disciplinary study that provides profound insight into one of Western culture's most fascinating and enduring preoccupations.

Why has the zombie become such a pervasive figure in twenty-first-century popular culture? John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro and Filip Miscevic seek to answer this question by arguing that particular aspects of the zombie, common to a variety of media forms, reflect a crisis in modern Western culture. The authors examine the essential features of the zombie, including mindlessness, ugliness and homelessness, and argue that these reflect the outlook of the contemporary West and its attendant zeitgeists of anxiety, alienation, disconnection and disenfranchisement. They trace the relationship between zombies and the theme of secular apocalypse, demonstrating that the zombie draws its power from being a perversion of the Christian mythos of death and resurrection. Symbolic of a lost Christian worldview, the zombie represents a world that can no longer explain itself, nor provide us with instructions for how to live within it. The concept of 'domicide' or the destruction of home is developed to describe the modern crisis of meaning that the zombie both represents and reflects. This is illustrated using case studies including the relocation of the Anishinaabe of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, and the upheaval of population displacement in the Hellenistic period. Finally, the authors invoke and reformulate symbols of the four horseman of the apocalypse as rhetorical analogues to frame those aspects of contemporary collapse that elucidate the horror of the zombie. Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis is required reading for anyone interested in the phenomenon of zombies in contemporary culture. It will also be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience including students and scholars of culture studies, semiotics, philosophy, religious studies, eschatology, anthropology, Jungian studies, and sociology.
