Apocalypse and Post-politics - The Romance of the End

Informationen zum Autor Mary Manjikian is assistant professor of international relations at the Robertson School of Government at Regent University. Klappentext In Mary Manjikian’s Apocalypse and Post-Politics: The Romance of the End, apocalypse-themed novels of contemporary America and historic Britain are affirmed as a creative luxury of development. Manjikian examines a number of such novels using the lens of an international relations theorist, identifying faults in the logic of the American exceptionalists and showing that the apocalyptic narrative provides both a counterpoint and a corrective to the narrative of exceptionalism.
