Essays from diverse perspectives offer histories of water at different scales ? from community water wells and sacred springs to Siberian rivers and the regulated space of the Baltic Sea. From early modernization through Soviet style technological optimism to contemporary environmentalism, water?s ideological uses are multiple. With sustained attention not just to state policy and the technologies of high modernity, but to creative resistance to utilitarian imaginations, these essays insist on fluidities of meaning, ambiguities that derive both from water?s physical mutability and from its dual nature as life necessity and agent of destruction. 410 0$aNature, Culture and Literature$v12. 606 $aWater and civilization 606 $aWater in literature 606 $aEcocriticism 615 0$aWater and civilization. 615 0$aWater in literature. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 676 $a809/.933553 701 $aCostlow$b Jane T$g(Jane Tussey),$f1955-$0952243 701 $aHaila$b Yrjo$01530650 701 $aRosenholm$b Arja$0952244 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792654803321 996 $aWater in social imagination$93775844 997 $aUNINA
