Antonia Mehnert turns to a set of contemporary American works of fiction, reading them as a unique response to the challenges of representing climate change. She draws on “climate change fiction”— texts dealing explicitly with anthropogenic climate change—and explores how these works convey climate change, deal with its challenging characteristics, and with what narrative techniques they ultimately participate in its communication. Indeed, a number of challenging traits make climate change a difficult issue to engage with including its slow and long temporal dimension, global scale, scientific controversy, and its disconnect between cause and effect. Considering such complexity and uncertainty at the source of climate change fictions, this book moves beyond a solely ecocritical analysis and shows how these climate change fictions constitute an insightful cultural repertoire valuable for discussion in the environmental humanities in general.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Global Warming; Climate Change; Literature; Environment; anthropogenic | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40337-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82084-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-40337-3Series ISSN 2946-3157 Series E-ISSN 2946-3165 | | issn_series | 2946-3157 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
