Tracing the deployment of power through systems of alliance, sexuality, and technology, the author promotes a variety of critical stances-genealogical feminism, an ethics of the flesh, and "pissed criticism"-as challenges to apocalyptic claims for absolute truth and universal morality.American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismTheory, etcApocalyptic literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etcFeminism and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryLiterature and societyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPostmodernism (Literature)United StatesGenealogy in literatureUnited StatesCivilization20th centuryAmerican literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Apocalyptic literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Feminism and literatureHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryPostmodernism (Literature)Genealogy in literature.810.9/005Quinby Lee1946-1595962MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820738403321Anti-Apocalypse3917100UNINA
