Yet it acquired quite a precise signature during the process of scientific and cultural differentiation in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This volume explores the significance and cultural functions of contagionism in this period, from notions of infectious homosexuality and the concept of social contagion to the political implications of bacteriological fieldwork. The history of the concept 'microbe' in aesthetic modernism is adressed as well as bacteriological metaphors in American literary historiography. Within this broad framework, contagionism as a literary narrative is approached in more focussed contributions: from its emotional impact in literary modernism to the idea of physical or psychic contagion in authors such as H.G. Wells, Kurt Lasswitz, Gustav Meyrinck, Ernst Weiss, Thomas Mann and Max Frisch. This twofold approach of general topics and individual literary case studies produces a deeper understanding of the symbolic implications of contagionism marking the boundaries between sick and healthy, familiar and alien, morally pure and impure. 410 0$aSpectrum Literaturwissenschaft ;$v38. 606 $aCommunicable diseases in literature 606 $aLiterature and medicine 606 $aContagion (Social psychology) 610 $aContagionism. 610 $abacteriology. 610 $aillness narratives. 610 $aliterary Modernism. 610 $amedical metaphors. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and medicine. 615 0$aContagion (Social psychology) 676 $a809/.933561 701 $aRu?tten$b Thomas$0386537 701 $aKing$b Martina$01595446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825004003321 996 $aContagionism and Contagious Diseases$93916412 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03699nam 2200565 450 001 9910815775703321 005 20230919202817.0 010 $a0-268-20367-9 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC29377803 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL29377803 035 $a(CKB)24265791600041 035 $a(BIP)083052442 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924265791600041 100 $a20230919d2022 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 13$aAn inconvenient apocalypse $eenvironmental collapse, climate crisis, and the fate of humanity /$fWes Jackson and Robert Jensen 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aNotre Dame, Indiana :$cUniversity of Notre Dame,$d[2022] 210 4$d©2022 215 $a1 online resource (185 pages) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$aPrint version: Jackson, Wes An Inconvenient Apocalypse Notre Dame, IN : University of Notre Dame Press,c2022 9780268203665 327 $aCover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introductions: Who Are We? -- ONE Who Is "We"? -- TWO Four Hard Questions: Size, Scale, Scope, Speed -- THREE We Are All Apocalyptic Now -- FOURA Saving Remnant -- FIVE Ecospheric Grace -- Conclusions: The Sum of All Hopes and Fears -- Notes -- Index. 330 8 $aConfronting harsh ecological realities and the multiple cascading crises facing our world today, An Inconvenient Apocalypse argues that humanity's future will be defined not by expansion but by contraction. For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse--and yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress--the dream of a future of endless bounty--are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond simple or nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today's social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today's systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, Jackson and Jensen weave a secular reading of theological concepts--the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace--to chart a collective, realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge on the other side with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world. 606 $aEnvironmental degradation 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aConsumption (Economics) 610 $aClimatic Changes 610 $aEnvironmental Policy 610 $aConservation Of Natural Resources 610 $aScience 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $aNature 615 0$aEnvironmental degradation. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aConsumption (Economics) 676 $a333.71/37 700 $aJackson$b Wes$f1936-$01701287 702 $aJensen$b Robert$f1958- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815775703321 996 $aAn inconvenient apocalypse$94084919 997 $aUNINA
