The difference is that I won't pretend that following a list of procedures will somehow magically produce an exemplary research essay. Every project is different and requires something different from the researcher. To be successful requires a lot of hard work, creativity, inspiration, and help from others. These complexities are impossible to capture in a checklist or manual of procedures.

 ## Revanchist Masculinity in Recent Post-Apocalyptic Cinema
 
-This paper examines a strain of post-apocalyptic narrative featuring what we may call “revanchist masculinity.” This term references an increasingly strident cultural discourse that focuses on recovering the putatively lost grounds of male authority and is largely a performance of grievance that addresses itself to a perceived crisis of modern masculinity. Revanchist masculinity has found a strong voice in the recent proliferation of post-apocalyptic narrative. Narratives of this sort revel in neo-primitivist fantasies of male empowerment based in dominance, gun culture, adventure, hyper-masculine performances, and the subordination and control of others (particularly women). Many of these films express an incipient or perhaps secret desire to totally destroy modern civilization, which is seen as enervating and effeminate.
