Описание: What do literary dystopias reflect about the times? In Blast, Corrupt, Dismantle, Erase, contributors address this amorphous but pervasive genre, using diverse critical methodologies to examine how North America is conveyed or portrayed in a perceived age of crisis, accelerated uncertainty, and political volatility. Drawing from contemporary novels such as Cormac McCarthys The Road , Neil Gaimans American Gods , and the work of Margaret Atwood and William Gibson (to name a few), this book examines dystopian literature produced by North American authors between the signing of NAFTA (1994) and the tenth anniversary of 9/11 (2011). As the texts illustrate, awareness of and deep concern about perceived vulnerabilitiesaends of water, oil, food, capitalism, empires, stable climates, ways of life, non-human species, and entire human civilizationsahave become central to public discourseover the same period. By asking questions such as "What are the distinctive qualities of post-NAFTA North American dystopian literature?" and "What does this literature reflect about the tensions and contradictions of the inchoate continental community of North America?" Blast, Corrupt, Dismantle, Erase serves to resituate dystopian writing within a particular geo-social setting and introduce a productive means to understand both North American dystopian writing and its relevant engagements with a restricted, mapped reality.
Описание: --- REVISED AND UPDATED 2021 EDITION (WITH NEW COVER DESIGN) --- Part 1 From Genesis to Revelation, the name Babylon seems to come up, again and again, throughout the Holy Scriptures. In these volumes, we'll begin to discover just what Mystery Babylon was, how it survived, and into what various thought-forms it had morphed, all throughout the centuries. Over the ages, these Babylonian systems were able to flourish, manipulating a lot of what we see and hear... even today, slowly bringing us away from God, and towards the evil one. There may, also, be a "parallel of existences," here: the time around Noah's Flood and the times of today. Jesus, after all, was the one who said: "As the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (Mat. 24:37). Could one side of this parallel have taken place in these early days of Genesis? Could the other side be the times we are facing now? Can we look to Genesis as an indicator of what will bring on the "end times" as we know it? Once we begin to see the parallels pan out, we'll also discover that Mystery Babylon is the "thought-machine" responsible for bringing it all back to us, on so many levels. These volumes provide a great deal of information to allow for the reinterpretation of many important Genesis stories, in ways that are not usually considered even plausible anymore, or in ways that may have been suppressed. The author spent decades researching a vast amount of complementary literary texts - ancient to modern - to allow us a better way to look at our world, and understand what we really may have been missing, all these years. The powers and principalities originally supporting these "mystery" systems of Babylon have worked hard to disallow the populous from understanding the real truths of the Bible. There are those who wanted, and still want, to destroy this connection for one fundamental reason: it could help undermine - even expose - the "thought machine" had developed, and built upon, over time! Why? Because they thrive through a continued misinterpretation of these early Genesis accounts. These volumes are not your typical look at Biblical prophecy, with attempts to interpret the future via the Book of Revelation. No. There is so much more needed to understand it all - namely, understanding early Genesis, as well. The modern interpretations of early Genesis, however, often leaves the typical seeker scratching their head. These volumes enlighten with answers to many common questions: What were the real origins of so many of the ancient pagan gods we now have? How about ancestor worship? Where did the ancient Sun God come from? What really happened in the Garden of Eden? How exactly did all of those involved get punished, and why? And, what relevance does it all have for us, today? What was really behind Cain's motives to kill Abel? And, what happened to him, after the murder? What was the "mark of Cain?" What were some of the more obscured factors that brought on Noah's Flood? Was it a world-wide flood? Who was Naamah, and why did she turn her back on God? Were there only eight people aboard Noah's ark? What did Ham really to do Noah, when Noah became drunk, and why did Noah curse Canaan? Who was Nimrod, and how did he become so evil? What about Cush, and why did the ancients call him "Chaos?" How was Nimrod's mother, Semiramis, able to convince so many people that her child was the original "Christ-child" - 2000 years before Jesus was even born? Knowing all of this helps to expose the darkened underbelly of Mystery Babylon, and how it continually brings people to these same depravities that were introduced, so long ago. This volume is chock-full of relevant information, covering all of the above - on a scale rarely seen, today. The answers are out there!
