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.CulturePhilosophyEarth (Planet)PhilosophyCultural Studies.Cultural Theory.Culture.Earth.Ecology.General Literature Studies.Home Planet.Literature.Media.Mythology.Nature.Religion.Utopia.CulturePhilosophy.525.01Nitzke Solvejgedt1354854Pethes NicolasNitzke SolvejgKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2018: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910315224403321Imagining Earth3358472UNINA
