| 520 | |a The apocalypse is not a new phenomenon. The idea of the world ending has existed for millennia, appearing in various religious cosmologies such as Hinduism and Christianity. The Book of Revelation is arguably the most well-known piece of "apocalyptic" literature. Modern artists and digital creators take the themes, motifs, images from Revelation to help them and their audience understand the "apocalyptic" state of their world. Thus, contemporary media such as the French animated television series Arcane has been created as commentary on the polarizing political climate, the ever-growing wealth gap, and the impacts of capitalism and industrialism. By analysing the "apocalyptic" imagery from Book of Revelation, this article will explain how texts like Arcane become a reflection of the current state of the world, and how the use of religious imagery and themes indicates that we are currently living in an "apocalyptic" era, albeit a secularized and pop-culture-saturated one. | ||
