A Sense of Apocalypse

Technology, Textuality, Identity

Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

Reaching into the depths of the collective unconscious, explores and re-interprets one of the West’s primordial fears, namely that of the apocalyptic closure of both cultural praxis and individual experience.

All these form the components of a new post-apocalyptic landscape, which not only produces a new identity informed by dissolving post-Enlightenment paradigms, but also conjures up hints at a large number of existential possibilities triggered by late-capitalist technologies and their cultural consequences.weiterlesen
