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. 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aApocalyptic literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aGenealogy in literature 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y20th century 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aApocalyptic literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 615 0$aGenealogy in literature. 676 $a810.9/005 700 $aQuinby$b Lee$f1946-$01595962 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820738403321 996 $aAnti-Apocalypse$93917100 997 $aUNINA
