- Title
Territory, Terror and Torture: Dream-reading the Apocalypse.
- Authors
Keller, Catherine
- Abstract
Beginning from the apocalyptic work, Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, this article explores the Christian Apocalypse through dream-reading the imagery in the context of American responses to 9/11. The apocalyptic figures of the Whore, the Messiah and the Beast appear in interaction with each other. Apocalyptic language, like the tension between nationalism and globalization, both deterritorializes and reterritorializes, unleashing the total destructive power of Armageddon on whole populations through war or torture, legitimized through the notions of absolute good and evil. The article ends with 'Earth Dreams', an attempt to deconstruct apocalyptic ideas with a theopolitics of 'just love'.
