Styled as a future-facing wiki, the project invites contributors to imagine themselves as posthuman entities reconstructing the end of the world from fractured, inconsistent evidence. Each entry is part of a (still) growing corpus of invented scholarship, designed to mimic the tone and structure of academic research while remaining entirely fictional. Contributors generate narrative ruptures through hyperlinks that expand the archive outward in fractal patterns, displacing linear history and authorship. It transforms archival space into a site of play and emergence, where contributors re/member community by writing new futures. Together, Janus and other future historians will build a corpus that reflects neither the shape nor authority of the human body. In so doing, the Database will become a speculative body of misinformation that plays with the aesthetics of knowledge to reveal its biases and imagine alternatives. application/pdf en_US CC BY-SA digital literature poetics Creative writing Interdisciplinary arts and sciences - Bothell The Eschatology Scholarship Database Thesis Open Access open.access
