{"product_id":"media-and-the-apocalypse","title":"Media and the Apocalypse","description":"Responding to a plethora of media representing end times, this anthology of essays examines pop culture’s fascination with end of the world or apocalyptic narratives. Essays discuss films and made-for-television movies – including \u003ci\u003eDeep Impact\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Core\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Day After Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e – that feature primarily [hu]man-made catastrophes or natural catastrophes. These representations complement the large amount of mediated literature and films on religious perspectives of the apocalypse, the Left Behind series, and other films\/books that deal with prophecy from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. This book will be useful in upper-level undergraduate\/graduate courses addressing mass media, film and television studies, popular culture, rhetorical criticism, and special\/advanced topics. In addition, the book will be of interest to scholars and students in disciplines including anthropology, history, psychology, sociology, and religious studies.","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251895947608,"sku":"9781433104190","price":82.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433104190_1768f10b-a92f-4872-b331-12994cd087d5.jpg?v=1779162341","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/media-and-the-apocalypse","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
