| Abstract
|
:
|
"This multidisciplinary collection examines post-apocalyptic TV and film for the ways in which these narratives reveal, reproduce, and occasionally resist twenty-first century anxieties and desires around race, gender, and sexuality. Contributors consider the complex interplay between popular culture, social fears and desires, hope and horror through readings of the post-apocalypse in The Walking Dead, True Blood, Falling Skies, Resident Evil, and others"--
