	JewishEncyclopedia.com - APOCALYPSE: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In recent times the designation apocalyptic literature, or apocalyptic, has commonly been used to include all the various portions of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, whether canonical or apocryphal, in which eschatological predictions are given in the form of a revelation.
		It is plain that the fixity of this "apocalyptic tradition" is due to the nature of the subject-matter.
		In the development of Jewish apocalyptic literature two controlling motives may be especially observed: interest in the future—especially the future of the true Israel—and interest in the secrets of the universe.

		They have built up their fears into a new phantom and called it "neoliberalism." In the mumbo jumbo of sociologists and political scientists, it is also known as the "only thought," a scapegoat on which to hang both present calamities and those of the past.
		Early in the new century, however, the advanced democracies of the world have a stronger incentive to act with firm and principled conviction in favor of democracy.
		In apocalyptic terms, Kaplan prophesies the emergence of a future nondemocratic world government composed of powerful multinational corporations that operate without restraint in all corners of the globe.

	The Great Divide: The Enlightenment and its Critics
		A new sensitivity about the twin cancers of racism and sexism created a new concern about the "white" and "male" prejudices of its representatives as well as the manner in which minorities, women, and outsiders were unrepresented.
		New social movements began the preoccupation with "identity politics" and the emphasis on local struggles, or what Michel Foucault originally termed "micro-politics," even as they sought to overcome the organizational legacy of bureaucracy and hierarchy on the left.
		The new philosophical movement of postmodernism was born of defeat.

	GotPoetry.com > > New Formalism
		New Formalism is a late-twentieth and early twenty-first century movement in American poetry that has promoted a return to metrical and rhymed verse.
		New Formalism was a reaction against various perceived deficiencies in the practice of contemporary poets.
		One of the first rumbles of the conflict that was to provide the impetus to create New Formalism as a specific movement, came with the publication in 1977 of an issue of the Mississippi Review called 'Freedom and Form: American Poets Respond'.

	New Apocalyptics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A broader movement of New Romantics has been postulated, to cover many of the British poets between the 'Auden group' of the 1930s and The Movement.
		The phrase New Romantics was used at the time, though, for example by Henry Treece; it is usually attributed to Cyril Connolly.
		By 1953 John Heath-Stubbs could write of the New Romantics as a movement of the past, though acutely singling out W.

	The Movement (literature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Essentially The Movement was a reaction against the extreme romanticism of the previous identifiable major movement in British poetry, the New Apocalyptics (which overlapped with the Scottish Renaissance).
		Whereas the New Apocalypsists had been irrational, deliberately incoherent, and "outrageous" or "controversial", The Movement poets tended towards anti-romanticism (almost constituting a form of neo-classicism), rationality, and sobriety.
		A second New Lines anthology appeared in 1963, by which time The Movement seemed to some a spent force, in terms of fashion; the 'underground' in the shape of The Group, and the more American-influenced style of the Al Alvarez anthology The New Poetry having come to the fore.

	ΘΕΟΦΙΛΟΣ - Pressing on toward the prize… » 2005 » April
		Having traced the progress of biblical apocalyptic from Joel and the Old Testament prophets, through our Lord’s discourse in Matthew 24, and the apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4.13-17, et al., Terry now completes his analysis with the capstone of all prophetic writing, the Apocalypse of John.
		Apocalyptic, generally speaking, is biblical prophetic writing which treats of impending and/or future judgments, culminating in the ultimate glorious triumph of the Messianic kingdom.
		Apocalyptic is distinguished from prophecy proper, in that the latter consists mainly in the prophet speaking words given to him by God, while in the former the primary action of the prophet is the passive seeing of visions from God, which he subsequently reports.

	A Low, Dishonest Decade.(Review) (book review) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Frum's extraordinary new book is to the writing of contemporary American history what Strachey's 1918 work was to the genteel biographical tomes of its day-an audacious act of revisionism, written in a voice and style so original it deserves to be called revolutionary.
		The case of Stephen Schneider demonstrates that "it was less important to the new apocalyptics to know which catastrophe was going to ravage the world than to agree that some catastrophe was sure to do so."
		Americans were moving on to something new, a creed that blended the antique ideal of self-reliance with a soft sense of entitlement, providing one made some minimal effort on one's own behalf."

		Numerous modernist poets have written in non-traditional forms or in what traditionally would have been considered prose, although their writing was generally infused with poetic diction and often with rhythm and tone established by non-metrical means.
		While there was a substantial formalist reaction within the modernist schools to the breakdown of structure, this reaction focused as much on the development of new formal structures and syntheses as on the revival of older forms and structures.
		More recently, postmodernism has fully embraced MacLeish's concept and come to regard boundaries between prose and poetry, and also among genres of poetry, as having meaning only as cultural artifacts.

	The Latecoming of the Posthuman
		Also potentially at stake, therefore, is a new take on the familiar issue of a contest of faculties: a stand-off between two discourses and their representatives, or at any rate between their idioms and their tones.
		If there is indeed scope for a new apprehensiveness in Derrida's discourse on apocalypse, it is because the disparities between the humanly possible and the inhumanly and dehumanizingly impossible have significantly altered and narrowed.
		The new tonality of his discourse on such matters might usefully be demonstrated by drawing attention to the frequency with which one word, bad¸ recurs in Philosophy in a Time of Terror.

		As noted by New York Times religion writer Gustav Niebuhr, the approach of the year 2000 with its many "declarations that a vast metaphysical change will coincide with the turn of the chronological odometer" has already fueled predictions of the Second Coming.
		For Christians and new agers caught up in the present millennialist frenzy, the New Jerusalem is a transformed earth based on "new" values and ethics.
		Indeed, fascination with apocalyptic themes or the transformational prospects inherent n the new millennium are simply part of a wider cultural assault on social values emphasizing reason, logic and science.

		Fundamentalists, eco-catastrophists, new age apocalyptics and a host of other nay-sayers all boast their own household vision of the end times; and a shocking amount of this phenomenon is linked to the immediate onset of the third millennium, current era.

		He and his father visit their new landlord's house, preliminary, Sarty knows, to burning his barn, and it is the sight of this house that enables the boy to make a moral decision:
		Their very rebellion stems from a fresh insight into life, engendered not by what we call the rational, but by imagination - though that is certainly not the same thing as mere fantasy.
		These casualties may be in fact signs of the new kind of cultural sensibility of the expanded mind - in reflecting the response of these youngsters to our way of life, which seems to them inauthentic - and indeed which may not be reflecting the true ideals of our civilization.

		They’ve been replaced by a voice that seems magisterially calm, centered and cheerful in that way some Zen masters are.
		It’s a voice that suggests Pynchon’s imaginative path--from the frenzied apocalyptics of his early work to the sky-blue, almost Prospero-like clarity we see in his work today--may one day look to us like one of the great brave spiritual journeys of the American imagination.

	NCPA - BG #141 - An Environmental Report Card on the 104th Congress
		The new law requires the agency to take into account children's special sensitivity to chemicals and to "err on the side of child safety." So the future standard could be 10 times more stringent.
		Finally, the law gives the EPA new responsibilities to study, screen and test pesticides for "endocrine disrupters." According to some scientists, a multitude of industrial chemicals may mimic, block, disrupt or enhance hormone activities, resulting in myriad human and animal ills, including birth defects, mental retardation, breast cancer and lower sperm counts.
		Finally, the new law requires the Food and Drug Administration to monitor and regulate bottled water for chemicals the EPA considers to be tap water contaminants.

		This new dispensationalism reached its zenith in the second half of the 20th century along with young-earth creationism.
		That proves apocalyptic genre can and often does involve things which took place in the past or are in the process of taking place in the present.
		There is apocalyptic language throughout the book and that language references real historical events which took place in the first century, culminating in A.D. It appears to us that Kurt’s objection relies on a false bifurcation.

		They confound and disgust the anti-progress folks, and incite their rage just as if you had attacked their religion (which in many cases may be true).
		The new clean-coal technology promises to do away with two pollutants and produce abundant quantities of clean-burning fuel, leaving behind a single by-product: gypsum, a valuable building material.

	From Apocalypse to Black Mountain the Contexts Layton
		A similar hostility is evident among academic critics as various as the New Critic Cleanth Brooks, the neo-humanist Irving Babbitt, the Marxist Christopher Caudwell, and the neo-classicist Yvor Winters.
		However, if the Apocalyptics had reacted primarily against the Auden group and less strenuously against the earlier modernists (D.H. Lawrence and W.B. Yeats were two modernists whom several of the Apocalyptics continued to honour), the Movement poets reacted primarily against the modernists.
		The Movement poets were scornful of the traumas and vague yearnings of the Apocalyptics, and disenchanted with the strenuous intellectual probing of the modernists and the 1930s leftists; they seemed prepared to forego greatness, to settle for minor achievements.

		We will survey poetry in the UK from the New Apocalyptics to the Movement: tracing the dominance of Dylan Thomas and the reaction to it in the new sobriety of figures in ’The Movement’, using poems by Philip Larkin, Elizabeth Jennings, Charles Tomlinson and Thom Gunn.
		The term ‘apocalyptic writing’ is generally used to describe writing that aims for the condition of being prophetic, for example certain works by Blake and Yeats.
		Whereas the New Apocalyptics had been irrational, deliberately bordering on the incoherent, and outrageous or controversial, The Movement poets tended towards anti-romanticism (almost constituting a form of neo-classicism), rationality, and sobriety.

		In this new dualism - which was that later known to the Greeks (Aristotle, Eudemus of Rhodes, Theopompus, and others) - we can see the affirmation of a new current of thought within Zoroastrianism, to which we give the name Zurvanism.
		In the Hellenistic period, the Magi were seen as a secular school of wisdom, and writings on magic, astrology, and alchemy were lent the authority of such prestigious names as Zarathushtra, Ostanes, and Hystaspes, forming an abundant apocryphal literature.
		Later still, eschatology and apocalyptics were a fertile meeting ground for Iranian and Judeo-Christian religions, as can be seen in the famous _Oracles of Hystaspes_, a work whose Iranian roots are undeniable and which most likely dates from the beginning of the Christian era, probably the second century CE (Widengren, 1968).

		The New York School was an informal group of American poets, painters and musicians active in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s in New York City.
		Concerning the New York School poets, critics argued that their work was a reaction to the Confessionalist movement in contemporary poetry.
