Natalie Dederichs draws on insights from the new materialisms about the entangled nature of planetary existence and combines them with approaches to aesthetics from fields as diverse as reader-response criticism, phenomenology, Gothic and media studies. She introduces a poetics of atmospheric re(lation)ality as a necessary component of any ecological engagement with fiction that fully embraces literary encounters with the inaccessible and elusive as expressed in uncanny atmospheric reading experiences.Besprochen in: https://yaleclimateconnections.org, 14.09.2023, Michael Svoboda MEDIENwissenschaft, 2 (2025), Marco Rognini»Keenly aware of the difficulty of making statements ›about the actual ethical impact‹ of her chosen texts, her propositions for their ›affective affordances‹ are well argued and quite refreshing in that she makes a coherent case for the intrinsic value of literature and the study of it in times of anthropogenic climate change.«Critical geographies.Dederichs, AtmosfearsEcocriticismAtmospheresLiteratureClimate ChangeEcogothicNatureAmerican StudiesBritish StudiesEcologyLiterary StudiesEcocriticismAtmospheresLiteratureClimate ChangeEcogothicNatureAmerican StudiesBritish StudiesEcologyLiterary Studies813.6Dederichs Natalie<p>Natalie Dederichs, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Deutschland</p>aut0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911088517303321Atmosfears: The Uncanny Climate of Contemporary Ecofiction4802193UNINA03960nam 2200745Ia 450 991113134220332120251117115805.0978661276267397815973449061597344907978052093645405209364509781282762671128276267210.1525/9780520936454(CKB)1000000000000909(EBL)223871(OCoLC)475929109(SSID)ssj0000110749(PQKBManifestationID)11132915(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000110749(PQKBWorkID)10064717(PQKB)10413493(DE-B1597)520862(OCoLC)55749295(DE-B1597)9780520936454(Au-PeEL)EBL223871(CaPaEBR)ebr10058570(CaONFJC)MIL276267(Perlego)552557(MiAaPQ)EBC223871(EXLCZ)99100000000000090920021029d2003 ub 0engurnn#---|u||utxtccrBetween Sundays Black women and everyday struggles of faith /Marla F.

Sexual Politics --Second Sunday. Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexTo be a black woman of faith in the American South is to understand and experience spirituality in a particular way. How this understanding expresses itself in everyday practices of faith is the subject of Between Sundays, an innovative work that takes readers beyond common misconceptions and narrow assumptions about black religion and into the actual complexities of African American women's spiritual lives. Gracefully combining narrative, interviews, and analysis, this book explores the personal, political, and spiritual commitments of a group of Baptist women whose experiences have been informed by the realities of life in a rural, southern community. In these lives, "spirituality" emerges as a space for creative agency, of vital importance to the ways in which these women interpret, inform, and reshape their social conditions--conditions often characterized by limited access to job opportunities, health care, and equitable schooling. In the words of these women, and in Marla F. Frederick's deft analysis, we see how spirituality-expressed as gratitude, empathy, or righteous discontent-operates as a transformative power in women's interactions with others, and in their own more intimate renegotiations of self.George Gund Foundation Book in African American StudiesAfrican American womenReligious lifeAfrican American womenSpiritual lifeAfrican American womenReligious life.African American womenSpiritual life.277.5/6/083/082Frederick Marla Faye1972-1621855MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911131342203321Between Sundays4867704UNINA03155nam 2200685 a 450 991114314590332120251117084431.01-283-58424-797866138966981-60344-772-5(CKB)2670000000234538(EBL)1056979(OCoLC)809977875(SSID)ssj0000711037(PQKBManifestationID)11940701(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000711037(PQKBWorkID)10673674(PQKB)11151913(OCoLC)812786322(MdBmJHUP)muse19780(Au-PeEL)EBL1056979(CaPaEBR)ebr10588011(CaONFJC)MIL389669(MiAaPQ)EBC1056979(EXLCZ)99267000000023453820120201d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBlind over Cuba the photo gap and the missile crisis /David M.

In the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, questions persisted about how the potential cataclysm had been allowed to develop. A subsequent congressional investigation focused on what came to be known as the "photo gap": five weeks during which intelligence-gathering flights over Cuba had been attenuated. In Blind over Cuba, David M. Barrett and Max Holland challenge the popular perception of the Kennedy administration's handling of the Soviet Union's surreptitious deployment of missiles in the Western Hemisphere.
