- W2475454963 abstract "American culture is suffused with technological millennialism. While the number of core believers in eugenics, cryonics, uploading of consciousness, and space colonies as postmillennial projects may be few, their futurist concepts have broad appeal for literature and film. Millennial ufology, in particular, represents a highly visible reformulation of Christian eschatology. Rather than angels or the messiah emerging from the clouds to battle the Antichrist and redeem the chosen, the messiah is now a benevolent interstellar space traveler, returning to Earth to rescue his space brothers from evil aliens and the ravages inflicted on the planet by technology and pollution. This chapter explores the relation of technology, extra-terrestrialism, and millennium as developed in the writings of the Nicaraguan poet, Ernesto Cardenal (1925– ), a Catholic priest who became the Sandinista Minister of Culture in the 1980s. Cardenal uses the UFO motif to link first with last things, alpha with omega, Indian with European. The ultimate technology symbolized in UFOs is needed to reverse history and return the earth to a golden age where the land is once again in the keeping of Native Americans. The chapter uncovers surprising links between Cardenal’s poetic visions, the history of UFO sightings, and the reports of UFO experiencers and of the Nation of Islam leaders, Elijah Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan." @default.
