概要 Rosenthal (English, Tufts University) revisits Modernism through the lens of a "post" world. She notes the fascination of the twentieth century with finality, catastrophe and apocalypse that leads her...to an analysis of catastrophe through Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, Walter Benjamin's two radio broadcasts about disasters for children and W. G. Sebold's The Rings of Saturn. All of these involve catastrophes of man and nature. Rosenthal asks why this obsession with the death of millions and of the world as a whole not only endured, but strengthened over the century. She uses the Kantian idea of the sublime, not just in its euphoric sense but in the literal one of being at the edge of a boundary. Her insights suggest that the postmodern world both fears and longs for catastrophe, not to end the world but, somehow, to renew it in a more hopeful form.
