Synopsis

With a title that parodies Paul Valery's famous warning, this essay examines the way in which the decline of the West has been estheticized. Beginning with the premise of the invention of "counter-utopia," a genre resembling yet distinct from that of dystopia, the author analyzes this concept as the memento mori of civilization.
