FEAR and ENDINGS (08/31/08; collection)

Human apocalyptic anxiety has constantly been felt and expressed over many
centuries. Each generation seems to have its own foci for the imminent
threats that it fears or hopes will destroy it. Our present historical
moment is no exception, and indeed seems to operate profoundly through
discourses of fear and endings.

>From the Christian Right’s expectation of the Rapture to a political
culture governed by terrorist anxiety, the contemporary moment is
experiencing an explicit refocusing and heightening of annihilation fears.
