Literary Animal Studies and the Climate Crisis de Sune Borkfelt

Literary Animal Studies and the Climate Crisis: Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature

Editat de Sune Borkfelt, Matthias Stephan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 noi 2023
Literary Animal Studies and the Climate Crisis connects insights from the field of literary animal studies with the urgent issues of climate change and environmental degradation, and features considerations of new interventions by literature in relation to these pressing questions and debates. This volume informs academic debates in terms of how nonhuman animals figure in our cultural imagination of topics such as climate change, extinction, animal otherness, the posthuman, and environmental crises. Using a diverse set of methodologies, each chapter presents relevant cases which discuss the various aspects of these interstices. This volume is an intersection between literary animal studies and climate fiction intended as an interdisciplinary intervention that speaks to the global climate debate and is thus relevant across the environmental humanities.

Recenzii

“The volume made me wonder about what it means to conduct animal studies scholarship in a changing climate, and whether the emergence of the ‘climate crisis’ as a popular concept might impact on the ways we research, write, and teach.” (Dominic O’Key, The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory, May 8, 2023)
