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. 330 1 $aBesprochen in: https://yaleclimateconnections.org, 14.09.2023, Michael Svoboda MEDIENwissenschaft, 2 (2025), Marco Rognini 330 1 $a»Keenly aware of the difficulty of making statements ?about the actual ethical impact? of her chosen texts, her propositions for their ?affective affordances? are well argued and quite refreshing in that she makes a coherent case for the intrinsic value of literature and the study of it in times of anthropogenic climate change.« 410 0$aCritical geographies. 517 2 $aDederichs, Atmosfears 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aAtmospheres 606 $aLiterature 606 $aClimate Change 606 $aEcogothic 606 $aNature 606 $aAmerican Studies 606 $aBritish Studies 606 $aEcology 606 $aLiterary Studies 615 4$aEcocriticism 615 4$aAtmospheres 615 4$aLiterature 615 4$aClimate Change 615 4$aEcogothic 615 4$aNature 615 4$aAmerican Studies 615 4$aBritish Studies 615 4$aEcology 615 4$aLiterary Studies 676 $a813.6 700 $aDederichs$b Natalie$p
