MF CASR Lunch with Hanne Loeland Levinson

"Bible in the Dystopian World: The Use of Bible in Contemporary Dystopian and Post-Apocalyptic Literature"

Dystopian literature has received considerable attention lately as it has “achieved symbolic cultural value in representing our fears and anxieties about the future." (Adam Stock, Modern Dystopian Fiction and Political Thought.) Yet how this literature utilizes biblical ideas and material has been less explored, even though a significant portion of contemporary dystopian and post-apocalyptic novels draw heavily on biblical literature. The research project Bible in the Dystopian World seeks to open a dialogue between dystopian (and post-apocalyptic) literature and biblical texts.
