Climate Impiety: Beyond Post-Apocalyptic Climate Change Fiction (Klimaatketterij)
Most climate change literature takes the form of post-apocalyptic, dystopian novels. This form, however, simplifies and compresses the phenomenon to make it dramatic and containable on a human scale. Focusing on climate literature that deviates from the norm, this project will explore alternative narrative strategies that might be more apt to represent the vast dimensions and complexity of climate change.
