Bringing together scholars from English literature, geography, politics, 
the arts, environmental humanities and sociology, Imagining Apocalyptic 
Politics in the Anthropocene contributes to the emerging debate between 
bodies of thought first incepted by scholars such as Mouffe, Whyte, 
Kaplan, Hunt, Swyngedouw and Malm about how apocalyptic events, 
narratives and imaginaries interact with societal and individual agency 
historically and in the current political moment. Exploring their own 
empirical and philosophical contexts, the authors examine the forms of 
political acting found in apocalyptic imaginaries and reflect on what 
this means for contemporary society. By framing their arguments around 
either pre-apocalyptic, peri-apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic narratives 
and events, a timeline emerges throughout the volume which shows the 
different opportunities for political agency the anthropocenic subject 
can enact at the various stages of apocalyptic moments.
Featuring a number of creative interventions exclusively produced for 
the work from artists and fiction writers who engage with the themes of 
apocalypse, decline, catastrophe and disaster, this innovative book will 
be of great interest to students and scholars of the politics of climate 
change, the environmental humanities, literary criticism and eco-criticism.
