Abstract
Contemporary eco-fiction namely the narrative texts where it is a question of ecology, or in other words the fictionalization and narration of the ecological subject, has become one of the main spheres of apocalyptic themes. Leaving its origin, the fear of an end of the ecological world is today a common fear and moreover, we must not forget that environmentalism in our world today is becoming a full-fledged ideology (to not say a religion) with its own prophets, its bible, its last judgment etc. Yet, thanks to Gilbert Durand and his studies on the Imaginary, we know that the imagination, more than a psychic faculty capable of producing images, is the faculty of arranging images that humans, in a way or others have appropriated themselves; an arrangement that cannot be independent of the socio-cultural context in which it develops or the political paradigms that dominate not only the social and political scene but also the cultural scene. As a result, by focusing on some extreme contemporary French narrative texts, all falling under what is now called Eco-fiction, we have tried to examine the functioning of what may be called the poetics of the apocalypse in the hope of illuminating cultural issues.
