Sommario/riassunto |
|
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, die nicht in großem Maßstab spürbar sind, ist der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels ein sichtbarer und unerbittlicher Indikator für die globale Erwärmung, deren Folgen weltweit zu spüren sind. Es ist nicht zu leugnen, dass der Meeresspiegelanstieg – verstärkt durch Stürme und Sturmfluten – Erosion, Überschwemmungen und katastrophale Schäden an den Küsten sowie im Binnenland verursacht. Das Buch zeigt auf eindrucksvolle Weise anhand einer exemplarischen Region die mit dem Meeresspiegelanstieg verbundenen ökologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Störungen auf: Der Autor hat die US-amerikanische Ostküste (Maine bis Florida) und den Golf von Mexiko (Florida bis Texas) zwischen 2005 und 2018 mittels großformatiger Luftaufnahmen aus seiner Cessna dokumentiert. Die Bilder illustrieren die verschiedenen |

Zustände der überflogenen Gebiete in verschiedenen Jahreszeiten, vor und nach großen Wetterereignissen und bezeugen somit, wie sich Geographie und Landschaft durch den Klimawandel dramatisch verändern. Das Buch diskutiert auch Resilienzstrategien und zeigt dabei, wie natürliche Systeme der Ableitung von Sturmfluten dienen können oder wie die Entwicklung von Parks und Naturschutzgebieten dazu führt, dass Hochwasser ohne nachhaltige Schäden aufgenommen wird - alles Beispiele für uns in einer Zeit, in der das Bewusstsein für den steigenden Meeresspiegel in Europa noch lange nicht ausreichend ausgeprägt ist. Das Buch wird durch einen brillanten Text von Bill McKibben, einer der führenden Persönlichkeiten des Klimaaktivismus, eingeleitet. |
The rise in sea level is a visible and remorseless indicator of global warming, the consequences of which can be experienced worldwide – in contrast to other effects of climate change that are not yet noticeable at a larger scale. The book illustrates, in an impressive way, the ecological, commercial, and social impact associated with the rise in sea levels, taking the examples of the American East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico: the author has documented this region from his Cessna between 2005 and 2018 using large-format aerial photography. The pictures illustrate the different conditions of the areas documented at different times of the year, before and after major weather events, and thereby provide evidence of how dramatically the geography and landscape are altered due to climate change. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In the last few decades, the phrase "spatial turn" has received increased attention in German Studies, inspired by developments within the discipline of geography. The volume German Women Writers and the Spatial Turn: New Perspectives engages the analytical category of space and the spatial turn in the context of German women's writing. The collection of essays divides its discussion of spatiality in German literature into sections that reflect privileged sites within the current scholarly debates around space. Essays look to such issues as environmentalism, globalization, migration and immigration, concerns of belonging, points of encounter, spaces and places of (im-)mobility, topographies of departure and arrival, movement, motion, or shifting identities. German Women Writers and the Spatial Turn: New Perspectives continues the challenge to understand the representation of space and place in German language texts by focusing on how spatial theory figures into the realm of feminist thinking and writing. |
