This raises several questions: How are the notions of one Earth or our Planet imagined and distributed? What is the role of cultural imagination and practices of signification in the imagination of "the Earth"? Which theoretical models can be used or need to be developed to describe processes of imagining Planet Earth? This collection invites a wide range of perspectives from different fields of the Humanities to explore the means of imagining Earth.Besprochen in:H-Soz-u-Kult, 22.11.2017, David KuchenbuchCulture & theory.Nitzke/Pethes (eds.), Imagining EarthConcepts of Wholeness in Cultural Constructions of Our Home PlanetEcocriticismMediaLiteratureEarthCultureHome PlanetReligionMythologyUtopiaNatureCultural TheoryCultural StudiesGeneral Literature StudiesEcologyEcocriticismMediaLiteratureEarthCultureHome PlanetReligionMythologyUtopiaNatureCultural TheoryCultural StudiesGeneral Literature StudiesEcology525.01Nitzke Solvejg<p>Solvejg Nitzke, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Deutschland</p>edtPethes Nicolas<p>Nicolas Pethes, Universität zu Köln, Deutschland</p>edtKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2018: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910315224403321Imagining Earth4415412UNINA
