초록
Emily St. John Mandel’s novel, Station Eleven, depicts the resilience of humanity and civilization in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event triggered by the Georgia Flu. Mandel challenges the conventional portrayal of survivors in post-apocalyptic settings by illustrating fragments of communal reconstruction within the subsequent generation. This study seeks to scrutinize how Station Eleven, often read as a nostalgic novel on contemporary society, resists fostering nostalgia and engages with present realities through its post-apocalyptic narrative. By analyzing the text in this way, this article aims to diagnose underlying vulnerabilities within our societal structure and identify symptoms indicative of potential communal reconstruction. Ultimately, this study tries to speculate on the potential trajectories of future generations by elaborating on these subtle cues.
