- W2049879553 abstract "Apocalyptic anxiety is an increasingly prevalent theme in US popular culture, and notably within the medium of the graphic novel, which has come to be a focal point for academic as well as general readers.This essay examines approaches to the apocalypse in Charles Burns's Black Hole (2005. New York: Pantheon) and Daniel Clowes's David Boring (2002. London: Jonathan Cape), relating these works to the cultural theory of precarity. In these graphic novels, the characters’ pseudo-apocalyptic experiences reflect the everyday precarity – or existential vulnerability – of the neoliberal condition. Denied both access to the past and a stable image of the future, the characters become paralysed within a perpetual present and a cycle of anxiety and passivity. These claustrophobic situations lead the characters to harbour latent longings for the very apocalyptic escape that threatens them, manifesting in the sinister mingling of their death drives and sex drives. Yet the climax of total destruction is never reached; Clowes and Burns instead leave their characters and readers suspended indefinitely in a condition of combined dread and passivity. This condition is characteristic of the psychological and social precarity described by such critics as Ivor Southwood, Mark Fisher, Zygmunt Bauman and James Berger, reflecting a deeply ingrained and often unconscious ontological insecurity at the heart of the neoliberal psyche." @default.
