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. 001373702 588__ $$aPrint version record. 001373702 650_0 $$aClimatic changes in literature. 001373702 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$y21st century$$xHistory and criticism. 001373702 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$xHistory and criticism. 001373702 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001373702 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMehnert, Antonia.$$tClimate Change Fictions : Representations of Global Warming in American Literature.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2016$$z9783319403366 001373702 830_0 $$aLiteratures, cultures, and the environment. 001373702 852__ $$bebk 001373702 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-40337-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001373702 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1373702$$pGLOBAL_SET 001373702 980__ $$aBIB 001373702 980__ $$aEBOOK 001373702 982__ $$aEbook 001373702 983__ $$aOnline 001373702 994__ $$a92$$bISE
