This collection examines the representation of children in contemporary apocalyptic films and television, arguing that they inhabit conflicting roles as either harbingers of disaster or symbols of survival and hope.
This collection examines the childs role in contemporary post-apocalyptic films and television.. By exploring the function of child characters within a dystopian framework, this volume illustrates how traditional notions of childhood are tethered to sites of adult conflict and disaster, a connection that often works to reaffirm the rightness of past systems of social order.
