Psychoanalyzing the Post-Apocalypse

"Psychoanalyzing the Post-Apocalypse" offers a rigorous, much-needed complement to media-theoretical interpretations of catastrophe fiction, revealing how trauma, repetition, and the death drive lie at the heart of our most enduring narratives of collapse. Gürova has assembled a genuinely interdisciplinary volume that brings Freudian, Lacanian, and Jungian perspectives into dialogue across literature, film, and television. It will be essential reading for scholars of the post-apocalyptic imagination.

This timely book explores the intricate relationship between post-apocalyptic fiction and psychoanalysis. Drawing on literary and screen narratives, it demonstrates how speculative storytelling across diverse media generates rich psychoanalytic possibilities and novel perspectives on trauma, memory, desire, and loss. An insightful and engaging read.
