Silverman Book Prize in Philosophy and Literature \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWho Would You Kill to Save the World?\u003c\/i\u003e examines how postapocalyptic cinema uses images from the past and present to depict what it means to preserve the world--and who is left out of the narrative of rebuilding society. Claire Colebrook redefines \"the world\" as affluent Western society and \"saving the world\" as preventing \u003ci\u003eus\u003c\/i\u003e from becoming the othered \u003ci\u003ethem\u003c\/i\u003e who are viewed in their suffering. Colebrook further examines how the use of postapocalyptic cinema is a humanist--Western, capitalist, colonizing, white, heteronormative, and individualist--creation and challenges the notion that a world built on foundations of exploitation is worth saving. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Colebrook combines postapocalyptic fiction, concern over the global climate crisis, colonialism, and anti-Blackness to explain how contemporary postapocalypse blockbusters circulate ideas of whiteness and the right of the privileged to rebuild the world. \u003ci\u003eWho Would You Kill to Save the World?\u003c\/i\u003e is a provocative addition to the field of extinction studies and challenges the conceptual frames we use to define ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Colebrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496234987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496234988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Claire Colebrook","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213143470335,"sku":"9781496234988","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9174195-54be-42a1-83ac-c71082f13538.jpg?v=1692112308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-would-you-kill-to-claire-colebrook-9781496234988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
