- Class Description:
- This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives Core Liberal Education requirement!
Writers have long produced accounts and predictions of the end of the world, expressing within them religious, social, political, and psychological factors and forces that bear upon human experience on earth. Over the course of millennia, they have imagined the end times in myriad ways, among them divine judgment, pandemic, nuclear war, alien invasion, rebellious artificial intelligence, environmental collapse, and resource depletion. Students in this course will study such accounts spanning historical and cultural contexts, from early Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts to twentieth century literature and film. They will write short analytical papers and produce in-class presentations on different historical events or ideas about apocalypse.
