      abstract = {Ashley Crawford investigates how such figures as Ben  Marcus, Matthew Barney, and David Lynch--among other  artists, novelists, and film directors--utilize religious  themes and images via Christianity, Judaism, and Mormonism  to form essentially mutated variations of mainstream belief  systems. He seeks to determine what drives contemporary  artists to deliver implicitly religious imagery within a  'secular' context. Particularly, how religious heritage and  language, and the mutations within those, have impacted  American culture to partake in an aesthetic of apocalyptism  that underwrites it.},
