What bad is not
Breaking bad, apophatic and dramaturgic continua from creator to viewer, and a poetics of the philosophy of religion
pp. 123-139
Abstract
In this chapter, I argue that Walter White can teach us about spiritual realities in terms of their phenomenological and textural aspects. I show that there is an overlap of scientism and religious literalism that can be found in Breaking Bad stories, and I further describe the fact that we have moved into discourse about a postmodern universe in which both Werner Heisenberg and Walter White/Heisenberg can hold court.
