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. 606 $aCulture$xPhilosophy 607 $aEarth (Planet)$xPhilosophy 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aCultural Theory. 610 $aCulture. 610 $aEarth. 610 $aEcology. 610 $aGeneral Literature Studies. 610 $aHome Planet. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedia. 610 $aMythology. 610 $aNature. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aUtopia. 615 0$aCulture$xPhilosophy. 676 $a525.01 700 $aNitzke$b Solvejg$4edt$01354854 702 $aPethes$b Nicolas 702 $aNitzke$b Solvejg 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2018: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910315224403321 996 $aImagining Earth$93358472 997 $aUNINA
