【 摘 要 】

Jessica Hurley’s "Infrastructures of Apocalypse: American Literature and the Nuclear Complex" examines how postwar literature has responded to discourses, both official and unofficial, of nuclear weaponry and nuclear power. Hurley explores how literature from a variety of genres offer a different sense of past, present, and future in response, thus constructing the apocalypse as a transfiguration rather than as a revelation.
