7. Post-apocalyptic film and the post-modern apocalypse, by Eric Dodson
- www.westga.edu
- Post-apocalyptic film and the post-modern apocalypse,.
- It's probably pretty goofy of me to focus all of these high-falutin existential and post- modern concepts on something as consistently B-grade as post-apocalyptic films. ...
- There exists within the broad spectrum of modern cinema a curious and relatively new genre, post-apocalyptic film, whose recent examples include "Waterworld" (1995), "The Road Warrior" (1982), and "The Omega Man" (1971) (see footnote 1). ...
- Post-apocalyptic film: some preliminary observations and existential themes .
- Post-apocalyptic film bears these more ancient, more latent significances within its subtext; post-apocalyptic film concerns life after a certain kind of revelation -- after a figurative veil (kaluptra) has been lifted. ...
- Furthermore, post-apocalyptic film concerns the theme of humanity's possible demise -- when the modern world lies broken and fragmented, and its remaining vestiges struggle for their very survival. In post-apocalyptic film, mankind itself hangs in the balance -- a reality which lends the post-apocalyptic action its urgency. It is precisely insofar as the future of mankind is at stake that heroism becomes a sensible and important theme in post-apocalyptic film. Post-apocalyptic film suggests that being-unto-death can be not only an individual phenomenon (a la Heidegger), but can occur for mankind in toto. In parallel with Heidegger, post-apocalyptic film suggests that mankind's possible not-being possesses a great power to call the human race into realizing its most powerful possibilities for being. ...
- However, this Heideggerian parallel is true not only for the characters within the post-apocalyptic film's story-line, but also for the film's audiences, who are presented with the possibility of mankind's extinction (the intimations of which they probably already feel), and who typically identify with the post-apocalyptic hero. For the viewer, the real thrill of post-apocalyptic film is feeling the heroic in him or her being called out into a world that in many ways already feels post-apocalyptic. Thus, part of the revelation of post-apocalyptic film concerns what is illuminated in the viewer's own person and world-situation. ...
- In calling out the heroic in its audiences, post-apocalyptic film implies the further startling idea that a technology destructive enough to annihilate the human race has the power to call mankind into a more deeply and genuinely humane way of life. ... Post-apocalyptic film suggests to its audiences that the time has come to grow beyond mankind's age-old self-absorbed territoriality, and to seek out a deeper, more heroic interrelatedness with each other and the world in which we live. ...

8. Apocalyptic Background Of SDA
- home.earthlink.net
- THE APOCALYPTIC BACKGROUND OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
- The Seventh-day Adventist Churchis first and foremost an apocalyptic movement. Most of the teachings that set it apart from the rest of Christianity are derived from the apocalyptic books of Daniel and Revelation. The word "apocalyptic" comes from a Greek word meaning "to uncover or reveal. ... In symbolic and enigmatic language, apocalyptic texts describe history in terms of an unfolding divine plan that is about to culminate via a supernatural intervention into the course of worldly affairs. ... Many apocalyptic writings were attributed to famous legendary or historic figures to whom the hidden meaning of current and historical earthly events was said to have been revealed via visionary experience. ...
- Jewish apocalyptic tradition, well established by the time of Jesus, had a strong influence on early Christianity3 which in turn produced an apocalyptic literature of its own. While many (one first century AD source mentions seventy Jewish apocalypses, most of which have been lost) apocalyptic books are known to have been extant in the early Christian era, only two, the Old Testament book of Daniel and the New Testament book of Revelation (or The Apocalypse), are included in the Protestant canon of the Bible. There are, however, some other apocalyptic texts that have been regarded as scripture by other Christians. The Apocrypha, which consists of books included in the Greek Septuagint but not the Hebrew version of Jewish scriptures, includes the apocalyptic book of Second Esdras. ...
- Ancient Persian Origins of Apocalyptic Thought .
- Many historians of religion trace the roots of apocalyptic thinking to ancient Iran and the Zoroastrian religion founded by the Persian prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra in Greek) some time between 1200 and 600 BC (the date is disputed). ... Traces of such combat myths, as scholars have labeled them, can be found throughout apocalyptic writings, as in the war between Michael and the dragon depicted in Revelation 12 and 13. ...
- The oldest Hebrew prophetic tradition was not apocalyptic. ...
- 14 Other Jewish Apocalyptic Writings.
- It is no accident that apocalyptic literature was included in the library of the Qumran group. ... " The group was clearly apocalyptic in its expectation of a fast approaching end time when the "rule of righteousness" in the temple would be restored through the final triumph of "the sons of light "over "the sons of darkness. " But, in a pattern that would be tragically repeated by many other apocalyptic groups from ancient to modern times, they came to a unexpected and disastrous end in 68 AD at the hands of the Roman army on its way to Jerusalem to begin the siege that would end in the destruction of the Temple. ...
9. Nathanael West and American Apocalyptic
- people.cas.sc.edu
- Nathanael West and American Apocalyptic.
- Finally, I will illustrate by commenting on John Schlesinger tantalisingly suggestive 1974 adaptation in film of the culminating, apocalyptic riot scene of West's novel. ...
- Apocalyptic warning and lament runs throughout American histary-we could develop a long list of such utterances. ...
- In any case, the neglected Nathanael West is to be counted as a dark, dark transmitter of apocalyptic prophecy, and especially in this novel which offers no comfort whatsoever to its characters or to its readers. ...
- Carefully, West crafts the fictional realization of his apocalyptic vision around this reworking of the biblical vision of terminal locust plague, sketching- in details of deformity, monstrosity, and corruption as signs of irreversible de-cline toward a crash. ...
- I would argue, against this background, that we are perfectly justified in deriving strategically, in good faith, our own formula plot from the book of Revelation, given its immense influ-ence, and in using this as a standard by which to measure latter-day Western cultural works of apocalyptic structure, whether explicitly religious in character or transformed in secular dress. ...
- Unintentionally on his own, part, Homer fits into West's greater scheme as the catalyst for the apocalyptic Tribulation scene of the ensuing riot. ... (In adding this coda, Schlesinger betrays West's apocalyptic vision of radical, metamorphic change. ...
- West's apocalypse, and Schlesinger's interpretation of it for the most part, invites the second of two traditional strategies of inter-preting apocalyptic vision, as much as it invites the first. ... The novel plays back and forth between the outer theater of America heading for a crash and the inner theater of Tod Hackett's responding apocalyptic imagination. ...
- Using film tech-niques unavailable to the novelist Schlesinger shows on the screen Tod's realised apocalyptic vision, penetrating the normal frame of reality. ... ' What is suggested, here at the climax of the narrative, is that Tod's prophetic visionary art becomes reality - his vision comes true! In the crucible of apocalyptic transformation one frame of real-ity replaces another. ...
- For a helpful critique of the uses and misuses of the myth and meta-phor of apocalypse by modem writers see Earl Rovit's 'On the Contem-porary Apocalyptic imagination' (The American Scholar 87 1968 , 453-68). ...
10. Apocalyptic Imagery in Joseph and Aseneth, Rebekah Rowland
- www.bham.ac.uk
- Apocalyptic Imagery in Joseph and Aseneth.
- Firstly that the story of Joseph and Aseneth contains apocalyptic imagery, mostly similar to that used in the book of Revelation. However, the second theory, which Kraemer puts forward, is very different, and it is that the story of Aseneth and her visitation of an angel shows nothing of what we would see as apocalyptic in style, but solely that she was adjuring (or ordering) an angel to come and tell her the future, which was, in fact, a practice in the Greco-Roman world. ...
- However, we begin with the first theory and this includes the references to apocalyptic imagery, especially with regards to the book of Revelation. ...
- First of all, I would like to define the word apocalyptic. ... Apocalyptic writings are usually concerned with the end times and the symbols and stories about this time are usually communicated by an angel or by other divine means. ...
- The Oxford companion to the Bible relates that Archangel Michael is a key figure in apocalyptic texts (Rev. ...
- In light of this, though, I would like to return to the idea of apocalyptic imagery and suggest that our reading of apocalyptic texts is also quite narrow. We assume it has to be to do with the end times and direct eschatology and yet Revelation, which is assumed as being apocalyptic, interests itself in speaking to churches, turning people from luke-warm to hot, and turning them from their idol worship to God in order that they should enter into heaven. ... Apocalyptic literature deals directly and primarily with the revealing to a person or persons of the divine and instating in them a renewal and change back to the divine. ...
11. Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet
- www.sullivan-county.com
- Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet.
- Ehrman writes about Jesus who was an "apocalyptic prophet," someone who was convinced that the world would soon end and that a new age, ruled by God, would soon be ushered in. ...
- Ehrman is not, however, bringing up a completely new or revolutionary idea - scholars and believers have seen the apocalyptic nature of Jesus' message for centuries. ...
- Thus, few have taken the time to really focus on the apocalyptic imagery which can be seen both in the earliest portions of the gospels and in the earliest history of the developing Christian Church. ...
- Ehrman argues that Jesus really did mean it when he said that the "meek and poor" would inherit the earth because, for apocalyptic thinkers, the current world is one which is characterized by corruption and evil. ...
- Some of these groups disappeared and some, like Christianity itself, found ways to reinterpret or revise the apocalyptic visions in order to achieve some measure of worldly stability. ...

12. Apocalyptic Thought

- Shared Reading: Apocalyptic Thought .
- Apocalyptic Thought.
- The readings here consist of brief summaries of books, and, thus far, of anti-apocalyptic thinking. That's because I personally have a hard time with apocalyptic thought and that's going to take me a little longer to review. ...
- Why does apocalyptic thought concern us? If it's the End it's the end. ...
- Because if we envision an apocalyptic end of Days when the Saved are resurrected and will be like stars in the cosmos, then we can more easily deny oppression, dominion, and injustice here, because it doesn't really matter anyway. ...
