▼ This dissertation examines American apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic texts from 1945-2000 in order to consider the varying ways that masculinity has been constructed in relation to the imagined primitive. The first chapter provides an overview of studies in apocalypse, primitivism, and masculinity to lay the foundation for the in-depth, critical analyses that follow. The second chapter provides an operational definition of American post-apocalyptic fiction as well as a survey of American post-apocalyptic fiction that includes George Stewart's Earth Abides, Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, Pat Frank's Alas, Babylon, Robert Heinlein's Farnham's Freehold, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's Lucifer's Hammer, and David Brin's The Postman. The remaining chapters focus on analyses of apocalyptic texts, texts that gesture toward apocalypse without explicitly depicting a catastrophic event. The third chapter, therefore, examines Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire, a non-fiction work of nature writing centered on the American Southwest in which Abbey constructs the image of the ecocentric male whose commitment to deep ecological thinking and a rugged, self-sufficient masculinity become reinforced through direct encounters with the primitive. The fourth chapter considers how William Gibson's cyberpunk novel Neuromancer reimagines the intersections of masculinity, primitivism, and apocalypse in the heterotopic sites of cyberspace and through the formulation of the virtual male. The fifth and final chapter analyzes Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, which employs conventions of the post-apocalyptic genre to highlight the limitations of apocalyptic fantasy and the effects it has upon contemporary men who think encounters with the primitive could allow for more "authentic" approaches to masculinity. Overall, this project highlights several key tensions between white men and men of color, between moral and savage men, and between sheer physical force and strength of mind. The intersections of apocalypse and primitivism, therefore, constitute the figurative territory in which competing constructions of American manhood have been debated in the late twentieth-century. Advisors/Committee Members: Kristie Hamilton.

Quel rapport entre Petőfi et Martí, deux poètes du XIXème siècle, et l’apocalypse? Sándor Petőfi (1823-1849), poète, écrivain et orateur hongrois, fut le fer de lance de la révolution hongroise de mars 1848, contre le régime des Habsbourg. José Martí (1853-1895), poète, écrivain et homme politique cubain, fut le créateur du Parti Révolutionnaire Cubain, en 1892, en exil, depuis New York, d’où il organisa la lutte armée contre les troupes espagnoles qui occupaient alors Cuba. Leurs écrits, fortement engagés dans le sens commun d’une lutte pour libérer leur peuple opprimé par une force tyrannique - les Habsbourg, en Hongrie, l’Espagne coloniale, à Cuba -, et pour la création d’une « république parfaitement égalitaire », selon les visées de Petőfi, et d’une « république juste », selon celles de Martí, contiennent un grand nombre de termes, d’expressions, de symboles et d’allusions apocalyptiques, dont la majorité appartient en propre au texte de l’Apocalypse mais également à d’autres livres de la Bible. Comment Petőfi et Martí ont-ils utilisé tout ce « réservoir » de mots et de symboles spécifiques, qui forme un « lexique de la fin des temps » ? Les deux poètes se présentent comme des visionnaires et parlent comme des prophètes. Pour son époque, Petőfi a prédit la fin désastreuse de la guerre d’indépendance hongroise en 1849, mais aussi a désigné un point final de l’histoire, quand surviendra le grand combat du bien contre le mal, après une « mer de sang », avec la victoire finale du bien, qui permettra l’avènement de la société idéale. Selon lui, le renouveau ne pourra se réaliser sans effusion de sang : la Révolution française fut le premier pas de la marche de l’humanité vers son âge adulte, quand elle a abandonné ses anciens jouets, les rois ; suivront d’autres révolutions, encore plus sanglantes – on peut penser à la révolution bolchevique de 1917 -, jusqu’à l’arrivée d’une ultime révolution. Martí a prédit la naissance de « Babylone la Grande » d’ Apocalypse 17, 5, la société moderne de consommation où tout va très vite et où l’amour est désacralisé, où la vie n’a plus aucun sens et où l’idée de Dieu devient confuse, ce qu’il a appelé le « démembrement de l’esprit humain » et la « décentralisation de l’intelligence », soit la société désacralisée alors émergente à la fin du XIXème siècle, avec le début de ses dérives actuelles : les monopoles économiques et les premiers démons de la mondialisation. Martí critique même le libéralisme et tous ses excès, déclarant que les hommes, de même qu’ils furent pendant longtemps les esclaves des tyrans, sont désormais devenus les esclaves de la liberté. Ainsi, Petőfi et Martí ont construit une véritable eschatologie, avec trois temps forts : la crise, le jugement et la justification.

What is the relation between Petőfi and Martí, two poets of the 19th century, and the apocalypse ? Sándor Petőfi (1823-1849), hungarian poet, writer and speech-maker, was the spearhead of the hungarian revolution of March 1848, against the Habsbourg’s regime. José Martí (1853-1895), cuban poet,…

Cette thèse se propose d’analyser les conditions de création et les modalités particulières du malaise définitoire de lafiction evensonienne. Ce mal-être caractérise d’abord une culture religieuse, celle du mormonisme, dont Evenson présente ce qu’il considère être la violence intrinsèque. Ainsi envisagé, le mormonisme sert de matrice aux délires des prophètes fous qui parcourent les textes, littéralisant le Verbe divin pour le pire. Ce malaise culturel et religieux trouve son pendant formel dans l’hybridation générique particulière de l’oeuvre. L’incongruité fondamentale des textes qui brassent des genres aussi divers que le gothique, le western, la fiction policère, et la sciencefiction, ouvre un espace de trouble herméneutique caractéristique du postmodernisme. En mettant en déroute nos horizons d’attente, le texte evensonien met en crise le partage entre réel et fiction, et nous confronte à l’angoisse terrifiante de la perte du sens. Ces textes qui défaillent sont le lieu de dissonances, signes de l’absurdité brutale du monde qui a perdu sa cohérence fragile. Les oeuvres nous invitent au coeur d’un désert moral dans lequel rougeoie l’effroi du sacré. Dans leur violence figurale, elles inaugurent une nouvelle relation au sensible en conditionnant une réception particulièrement affective du lecteur en proie à l’effondrement de ses repères moraux, herméneutiques, et existentiels

This dissertation wishes to analyze the conditions of creation and the particular modalities of the malaise defining of Evenson’s fiction. That feeling of uneasiness first characterizes Mormonism, a religious culture that Evenson presents asintrinsically violent. As such, Mormonism appears as a matrix to the delirium of the mad prophets found wandering in thetexts as they literalize the Word of God for the worst. This cultural and religious malaise finds its expression in the particulargeneric hybridization of the work. The fundamental incongruity of the text, cross-pollinating genres as diverse as the Gothic,the Western, detective fiction and Science-Fiction, opens a space of hermeneutical trouble defining of Postmodernism. Byunsettling our expectations, Evenson’s texts question the difference between reality and fiction, and thus shape a particularform of anxiety that emerges from the loss of meaning. Those works are the locus of dissonances that sign the brutal absurdity of a world whose fragile consistency has been shattered. They invite us at the heart of a moral desert, both sacredand dreadful. The figural violence of the texts programs a new kind of sensible, affective reception from the reader whosemoral, hermeneutical and existential bearings collaps

▼ This dissertation demonstrates the function of the church in war in Revelation. Chapter 1 tracks the development of publications that address this subject and also illustrates the need for another academic contribution to it. Furthermore, it explains this dissertation's particular narratological approach. Chapter 2 examines the plot of Revelation. Borrowing the tools from narrative plot criticism, this chapter shows the priority of the warfare motif to the structure and development of Revelation's plot. Chapter 3 analyses Revelation's characters. Like Chapter 2, it proves the significance of the warfare motif to the author's process of characterization. Although minor characters are given a brief discussion, more attention is given to the way in which the main characters contribute to the concept of war. Chapter 4 illustrates the relevance of war to the author's point of view (POV). This chapter presents an analysis of passages wherein the author's POV is manifest in order to test the import of the war motif for the author's perspective. Chapter 5 identifies specific images in Revelation that contribute to Revelation's theology of the ecclesia. Provided is an exegetical defense for understanding the seven churches (1:4-3:22), the 144,000 and the multitude (7:1-17), the temple (11:1-2), the two witnesses (11:3-13), the 144,000 male virgins (14:1-5), and the judgment army (19;11-21) ecclesiologically. From those images, this chapter also renders a working definition of the essence of the church. Chapter 6 considers how each of the passages and images discussed in chapter 5 describe the function of the church in warfare in Revelation. All the preceding chapters warrant and support the concluding findings. Thus, this work hopes to fill a gap in ecclesiological and narratival studies in Revelation. The aim of this work is not simply to perform a specific kind of narrative critique upon Revelation, but to show how narrative criticism informs Revelation's theology of the church. Specifically, the Apocalypse mandates the ecclesia to do much more than obey; the narrative calls the church to engage her enemies in the cosmic war with specific acts of obedience until Christ's final, consummative victory.

▼

Critics have long acknowledged the prevalence of the Gothic mode in American literature as well as a standard set of themes and topics that appear repeatedly in the genre, such as the legacy of the Puritan past, the terrors of the frontier, and race. However, few scholars have recognized the importance of Apocalypse in American Gothic literature. Featuring Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Emily Dickinson as representative authors, this dissertation argues that the biblical Apocalypse is a primary subject of American Gothic literature during the early to mid-nineteenth century and beyond, and that authors of the era appropriated the Gothic mode as a way of expressing America’s collective cultural anxieties about national identity. These authors’ works are contextualized within their historical moment through a study of primary documents like letters, journals, personal libraries, historical periodicals, and other cultural influences. By framing biblical subject matter as Gothic, these authors contradict the sentimental and mainstream religious narrative of their contemporary society. Their pairing of Gothic and apocalyptic frameworks also suggests that the definition of American Gothic should be broadened to include Apocalypse in its range of featured subjects, and that this narrative pairing is peculiarly American. Further inquiry might provide both a historical record of America’s preoccupation, even obsession, with its role in the Apocalypse, and a record of the collective fears of a nation that yearns for an impossible ideal—a city on a hill, a government founded on principles of equality and freedom, and a nation divinely delivered from the burden and horrors of history. The American Gothic Apocalypse may be a unique vehicle for the nation—authors and audiences alike—to process the failure of these ideals and to explore the human weaknesses and inner demons that prevented their achievement.

▼ Protestant Postmodernism: Theory and Theology, Affect and Art Caleb D. Spencer Department of English University of Illinois Chicago, 2011 Chicago IL Walter Benn Michaels, Chairperson Protestant Postmodernism examines the connections between protestant theology and postmodern, literature, film, and aesthetic and literary theory. It argues that many of the deep problems in postmodern theories about the work (of either art or literature) emerge because a theologically informed structure has been stripped of its theology even as the structure has been retained. Thus, for example, I show that the primacy of experience in Stanley Fish emerges from a Protestant insistence on the importance of right feeling to both right action and belief, but both flourishes and founders only insofar as right feeling becomes increasingly disconnected from right belief. Indeed the extraordinary success of Fish’s idea of the community of interpretation among Protestant theologians (especially evangelical theologians) itself suggests not only that postmodernism has a significant protestant component but that the religious revival that is sometimes called the Fourth Great Awakening has a significant postmodern component. Thus Protestant Postmodernism seeks to analyze a set of problems and not-always-successful solutions that define a range of writing, from theorists like Fish and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, to theologians like Stanley Hauerwas and the Emergent church’s Tony Jones, to memoirists like Anne Lamott, novelists like Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon, and even Fight Club’s Chuck Palahniuk. But where the First Great Awakening succeeded by linking experience to knowledge of doctrine—so that for Jonathan Edwards "having religious affections” mattered only insofar as they were accompanied by "actual knowledge" of “divine things"— the current religious awakening has mainly succeeded by unlinking what Edwards worked to keep together, by stressing affection instead of actual knowledge, by unlinking experience and doctrine. More fundamentally for English Studies, however, Protestant Postmodernism demonstrates just how deeply the shape of recent scholarship in English has been formed by preconceptions and arguments which only make sense in light of both the history and commitments of Protestant Christianity, even as those in the discipline move increasingly away from personal commitment to Christian faith.

▼ Abstract By the fourth/tenth century Jahannam acquires a definitive geography, its own inhabitants and appears to be fully operational as a destination. This study investigates a narrative that evolved after the Prophet¿s death mainly within the framework of admonition literature (wa`÷) and as a reminder (tadhkirah) and a deterrent (takhw¿f) to Muslims against finding themselves there. The infernal narrative began with space and the first two chapters focus on its physical characteristics: its topography, climate, flora, water resources and fauna. Famous landmarks towered amid scorching heat and skies choked with fumes; its spiky flora was inedible, its water rank and its fauna aggressive. As a place of punishment the terrain was designed to be difficult, treacherous and dangerous. Although our texts focus primarily on the level allotted to the Muslim community, the operational dynamics brought the seven levels into focus. Sustainability was key for Jahannam¿s survival for once the gates were locked, the inhabitants had to make the best of things on their own. The discussion of sin highlights the diversity of Jahannam¿s population that is directly attributed to Muslim debates on the relationship of sin to salvation. The large body of the sinner becomes a billboard advertising sin through deformity. A brief overview of popular and scholarly texts on sin (kab¿a`ir), their classifications and principles of punishment introduces the inhabitants of Jahannam. In later afterlife narratives, the ahl al-n¿ar exchange an earlier anonymity for tashh¿r or publicity that adds shame and disgrace to their predicament. Assigning an image such as large bellies for usurers reveals the perils of reductionism. A more accurate classification would categorize sinners by group. Scholars were criticized for verbal and moral transgressions. Works on sin are rich in social commentary; there are several lists that explain the reason women form the largest demographic constituency in hell. In chapter four we examine Jahannam¿s community and its power structure. M¿alik, the head warden, stands at the head of a squadron of zab¿aniyah whose strength and skills are best illustrated through the instruments they wield. The infernal narrative also gives voice to Jahannam¿s community as scripted in Qur¿¿anic verse revealing the cantankerous nature of our inmates who argue, blame, accuse and hope to haggle their way out of their predicament. Jahannam¿s community comes with its prosopography that includes Sunn¿ and Sh¿`ite celebrities that illustrate the ongoing aspect of the infernal narrative.

Ce travail met en œuvre un processus d'effacement de la figuration par la lumière, mais également par l'utilisation du blanc en tant que matière. La forme devient fantomatique, apparaît en filigrane, et disparaît aux confins de la représentation. Cette recherche se déploie à travers une installation plastique qui invite le spectateur à une lecture visuelle en épaisseur. Il s'agit de mettre en lumière par diffraction quelques figures prélevées dans l'Apocalypse de Saint Jean. J'ai ainsi imaginé de prendre appui sur ce texte fondateur. Tel le parergon Derridien, il lui a servi de cadre et de cartouche pour définir à la fois un lieu et proposer le chemin qui mène au dévoilement. C'est au dessin effacé par le geste peint et qui retourne à la blancheur, que j'ai confié cette mission, pour traduire la fragilité de la condition humaine. La représentation qui se retire laisse l'incertain de la vision d'imprimer dans un point par point. A l'horizon de cette quête, née de la lecture du texte et de son écriture plastique, se révèle enfin un visage. Un visage d'humanité alternant entre les dualités multiples de l'existence. Ce travail est un chemin vers l'effacement, vers le retrait. Il se veut un en deçà qui rencontre un au-delà.

This work sets up a fading process in figuration with the use of light but also white as matter. Form becomes phantasmal appears as filigree and disappears in the confines of representation. This research is deployed via a plastic art installation which invites the spectator to experience an in-depth interpretation. Figures taken from the Apocalypse of Saint John are illuminated by diffraction. I thus used this mythical text as a support for the project like Jacques Derrida's parergon, where he used it as a framework and cartouche to define both a place and a pathway which leads to a revelation. It is the blotted out painted drawing reverting to whiteness, which serves this purpose in order to interpret the fragility of human condition. The representation which fades reveals an uncertain vision expressed in a point by point. The end result of this quest born from a reading of the scripture and the artist's gesture is ultimately, a face -a face expressing humanity, alternating between the multiple dualities of existence. This work is a pathway towards the fading withdrawal of an image. It aims to be this side which encounters the beyond.

▼ This project seeks to examine and critique the process in which a certain trend acquired a dominance in our cultural and political life for the last 40 years. This trend is named “apocalyptic” in this dissertation as the trend utilizes and exploits the sense of an ending. While many popular genres that dominate our cultural landscape such as novels, movies, and pop culture generally utilize this imminent and immanent ending, the sense itself is oddly dictated by playfulness and complacency. In this way, apocalypse in our age is an apocalypse without apocalyptic urgency, a formalized apocalypse without content, an infinitely postponed apocalypse. While the cultural and social life of this particular apocalypse seems still dominant in our age, counter-movements also clearly identifiable—movements that try to re-politicize our cultural and social life by problematizing the reified apocalypse and thus by reconfiguring the very concept of the political. Political art comes into being through its profound endeavor to represent the historical meaning of suffering in a particular community. As opposed to merely economic or merely aesthetic/experimental art whose immediate response to the ongoing globalization and its transformation is, from a historical perspective, to be grasped as privatized complacency and/or survivalist economics in many cases, there has been constant search for new politico-aesthetic possibilities against the background of the figure of imagined aesthetic apocalypse. This project is particularly invested in the notion of the author and tries to investigate various authors’ political response to the globalization and/or to the cultural norm of apocalypse. Though the waning of the notion of the author has been accepted as a norm for a while especially because the death of the author has been rendered as equivalent to the empowerment of the reader, this seemingly democratic cliché is a sophisticated but ideological expression of contemporary apocalypse. I argue that a renewed and historicized conceptualization of the author is essential for the representation of our historical present and that the aesthetic form is the political vehicle for the author to engage with the reader and her material conditions. The examples that Zoe Wicomb, Lee ChangDong, and many other authors show will demonstrate the essentiality of the notion of the author in our political life.
