"Notions about the ethnologist/anthropologist profession in the film "Ring a Ring o' Roses

Love in the time of the post-apocalypse – ways of imagining love after the end of the world
The paper deals with ways of representing love and amorous relationships in post-apocalyptic movies. In these movies, there is a dualism of romantic and partner love, and these two types of love are there to help build a new world, or rebuild the destroyed society.
