About the Book

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.

Review :
"Jakub Kowalewski has compiled a set of essays that investigate the multiple roles that apocalypticism can play in addressing climate change as well as its diverse colonial and capitalist roots. The authors offer accounts of eco-apocalypticism in shifting theological, philosophical and political contexts. In addition to advancing discussions in political theology, these chapters break new ground in their consideration of apocalyptic ideas in areas ranging from literature to Muslim environmentalism to the genre of how-to guides. In acknowledging the dominance of Christian eschatology for apocalyptic thought, but refusing to allow this dominance to go unchallenged, this volume is an important contribution to thinking about a world that appears to be ending around us." Thomas Lynch, Reader in Political Theology, University of Chichester, UK "All too often, apocalyptic rhetoric is invoked to lend urgency to the environmental crisis, but can the age-old concept of ‘apocalypse’ have any analytical power facing a catastrophe without event such as the Anthropocene? The essays in this volume show that it can. They give the term a much-needed update, providing rich insights into its history and its usefulness for the predicament we live in." Eva Horn, Professor of Modern German Literature and Cultural History, University of Vienna, Austria "This important collection offers a bold attempt to contest the apocalyptic tropes through which the ecological disaster is brought to our consciousness. Without any guarantee of a redemptive offering, the authors engage the environmental apocalypse to trace multiple paths whereby critical thought meets political hope to emerge renewed, ready to imagine a better world." Joanna Zylinska, Professor of Media Philosophy and Critical Digital Practice, King’s College London, UK
