Portraits of good battling evil come in many forms in the Hispanic World. In traditional apocalyptic scenarios that signal “the end of the world as we know it,” chaos, deprivation, powerlessness, social and environmental upheavals, poverty, cultural turmoil, taxation, revenge, hatred and fear are recurring features. The Apocalypse threatens all, regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, historical period or origin. The “enemy,” may come from without or generate hostilities and corruption from within. In this classic construction, the formula and End are already proscribed. When the politics of the End do not truly commit to an ending, however, but a prolongation of conflict into the future, the poetics of resistance overwhelms the narrative of the End and pushes it beyond closure. Resistance rallies a mindful strategy of listening to and keeping the enemy “in sight and in mind.” It presents a formula for grappling with and engaging difference and problematizing the definitive End by postponing and blending it with a search for liberating qualities. The resilient Apocalypse simultaneously and paradoxically performs as an internal defense (a vehicle for mourning) and a counter-discourse to power (a mechanism for resistance), according to its narrative impulse. The Hispanic World as a cultural study offers myriad examples from the Middle Ages through the present of how chaos morphs and shifts to the political, economic, social, environmental and religious crisis of the moment.

This article argues that Hispanic Orientalism, in general, and Mexican Orientalism, in particular, persist because of their interplay of political, cultural and symbolic landscapes framed by the Apocalypse. In this light, narratives of the end of time, new beginnings and cyclical events interact across cultural boundaries and competing traditions. Multiplicities survive over the power of a singular Western story because they blur the logics of identity, and displace chaos and disruptive end points by engaging dialog as an opening to a new beginning. This article analyzes two Mexican novels of the twenty-first century, Ximena Sánchez Echenique's El ombligo del dragón (2007) and Cristina Rivera Garza's Verde Shanghai (2011). These works fulfill a self-Orientalist model that reopens taboo subjects of race, illness, and mental stability in apocalyptic transformations that simultaneously engage, engross, reject and adapt to the Other. Both novels redeploy Chinese culture, mythological figures, life philosophies and science from within Mexican culture, ultimately providing a mirror to the fears and hopes of the society in which they are generated. In effect, these uniquely Mexican narratives establish a dialog on the creation of civilization, the final judgment, and the future foretold that supplants geographic, environmental, national and disciplinary boundaries.
