Description

Survivors and Survivalists gives a rambunctiously critical twist to contemporary apocalypticism. It eschews the privileged paranoia that often dominates this theme, offering instead a collection that recasts apocalypse in terms of real-world struggles, traumas and resilience. We queer the notion of apocalypse and examine the kinds of practices either engendered or obscured by apocalyptic mindsets. In the mix we’ve got zombies, black metal, queer survivalism, Cree language resurgence and atomic bombs. In other words, this is a grab bag of carnivalesque realness, the rowdy party in the middle of the apocalypse that is always to come. After all, in the face of so much doom, what is there to do but get wild and wily?
