[Commlist] New book: Post-Catastrophe Film: Cinematic Visions in the Aftermath of Disaster

Intellect is pleased to share that /Post-Catastrophe Film 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/post-catastrophe-film>//, /by Stephen 
Lee Naish, is now available in paperback, hardback and e-book.

Focusing on the fragile, immediate aftermath of global events, before 
any new social order or rules for living have formed, Naish’s book 
introduces an emerging subgenre positioned between disaster movies, 
which depict humanity facing large-scale collapse, and post-apocalyptic 
films, where new societies and rules have already taken hold: 
post-catastrophe film capture a unique threshold of survival amid 
change. Through lively case studies of popular films, Naish offers close 
readings of cinematic narratives and explores deeper themes that emerge 
in the aftermath of disaster, including the role of AI and cyborgs, 
cosmic survival and colonization, and the tensions between individual 
isolation and life with others.
