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. 330 1 $aBesprochen in:H-Soz-u-Kult, 22.11.2017, David Kuchenbuch 410 0$aCulture & theory. 517 2 $aNitzke/Pethes (eds.), Imagining Earth$eConcepts of Wholeness in Cultural Constructions of Our Home Planet 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aMedia 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEarth 606 $aCulture 606 $aHome Planet 606 $aReligion 606 $aMythology 606 $aUtopia 606 $aNature 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aCultural Studies 606 $aGeneral Literature Studies 606 $aEcology 615 4$aEcocriticism 615 4$aMedia 615 4$aLiterature 615 4$aEarth 615 4$aCulture 615 4$aHome Planet 615 4$aReligion 615 4$aMythology 615 4$aUtopia 615 4$aNature 615 4$aCultural Theory 615 4$aCultural Studies 615 4$aGeneral Literature Studies 615 4$aEcology 676 $a525.01 702 $aNitzke$b Solvejg$p
