Undead Ends: Stories of Apocalypse

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examines how we imagine humanness and survival in the aftermath of disaster. The book frames modern British and American apocalypse films as sites of interpretive struggle, and asks what is ending? Whose dreams of starting over take centre stage? And how do these films make room to dream of new beginnings that don't just reboot the world we know?
