Dominic Pettman identifies and examines the dynamic tensions of various apocalyptic discourses, from the fin-de-siècle decadents of the 1890s to the fin-de-millènnium cyberpunks of the 1990s, in order to highlight the complex constellation of exhaustion, anticipation, panic, and ecstasy in contemporary culture. Through analyses of rapturous cults, cyberpunk literature, post-apocalyptic cinema, techno-paganism, death fashion, and the Y2K prophecy, After the Orgy explores why the twentieth century swung so violently between the poles of anticipation and anticlimax. In the process, the book raises pressing questions concerning the relevance of such ideas in our new millennium and points out alternatives to the monotonous horror of traditional narratives.SUNY series in postmodern culture.Civilization, Modern1950-MillennialismCivilization, ModernMillennialism.306Pettman Dominic800847MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820038403321After the orgy4027250UNINA01763nam 2200505zu 450 991037638420332120210807005129.01-4503-2852-0(CKB)3780000000084536(SSID)ssj0001341772(PQKBManifestationID)11751791(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001341772(PQKBWorkID)11278061(PQKB)10845167(WaSeSS)IndRDA00027475(Association for Computing Machinery)10.1145/2593833(EXLCZ)99378000000008453620160829d2014 uy engur|||||||||||txtccr7th International Workshop on Search-Based Software Testing : proceedings : June 2 - June 3, 2014, Hyderabad, India[Place of publication not identified]ACM20141 online resource (38 pages)ACM ConferencesBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: MonographACM ConferencesSBST 2014Search-Based Software Testing 2014Proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Search-Based Software TestingEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCComputer ScienceHILCCEngineering & Applied SciencesComputer ScienceMcMinn Phil933764Harman MarkMcMinn PhilAssociation for Computing Machinery-Digital Library.PQKBBOOK99103763842033217th International Workshop on Search-Based Software Testing : proceedings : June 2 - June 3, 2014, Hyderabad, India2102162UNINA
