Description: |
Are we experiencing the end of the world? Popular culture and the media broadcast endless news suggesting the end of human civilization: infertility crises, weather disasters, GMO monsters, class warfare, mass extinction, infectious diseases, even zombies. This course investigates representations of environmental apocalypse and the new geological era of the Anthropocene in order to understand the cultural politics and history of anxiety about end-times and the meaning of nature, planet, and ecology in our lives. |
