While scholars have focused on the story\u2019s pioneering Expressionist style delivered in stark imagery and piercing colors, its innovative narrative form, and its underlying gender dynamics, my ecocritical reading focuses on the growing disruptions between social and natural systems that expose both the fallacies of fossil capitalism and opportunities for ecological resilience that come with human and non-human interactions. As D\u00f6blin\u2019s blindsided protagonist victimizes his natural environment, he presumes the natural processes to be linear and reversible, but ultimately falls victim to their violent agency. In contrast to most existing interpretations, I suggest such multidirectional violence is not the result of an individual pathology, but symptomatic of the relationship between humans and their environment in Western industrialized societies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Keywords:<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anthropocene, Plant Studies, Metabolic Rift, German Expressionism<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1172\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1172\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2024<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1172\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1172\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-379 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Das-Darwin-stirbt-aus-Image-300x254.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Das-Darwin-stirbt-aus-Image-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Das-Darwin-stirbt-aus-Image.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c\u2018Das Darwin stirbt aus!\u2019: Judith Schalanskys Werke im Spiegel der <\/span><\/b><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Extinction Studies<\/span><\/i><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u201d <\/span><\/b><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Text &amp; Kritik<\/span><\/i><\/b><strong> 244 (2024): 24-31.<\/strong><\/p><p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201eDas Darwin stirbt aus!\u201c: Judith Schalanskys Werke im Spiegel der <\/span><\/b><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Extinction Studies<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Im September 2022 wurde Judith Schalansky als neunte Autorin eingeladen, ein Manuskript f\u00fcr die Framtisbiblioteket (<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Future Library<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">) beizutragen, welches bis zu seiner Ver\u00f6ffentlichung im Jahre 2114 ungelesen, unlektoriert und unbekannt bleibt.

Like the German <em>Bergfilm<\/em>, <em>Sils Maria<\/em> is framed by a tension between modernity and mountains, where protagonists escape to an isolated and privileged space high up to find meaning and face death. Unlike their heroic masculine counterparts in the mountain film, however, the two women encounter no climbing dangers and conquer no peaks. Yet they too are guided and changed by an imposing and dynamic landscape while wandering among the Swiss Alps and skinny-dipping in icy mountain lakes. Like in the German <em>Bergfilm<\/em>, the protagonists\u2019 (homoerotic) relationship is developed, tested, and strained in the mountains where desire, jealousy, and loneliness come to the fore, with the important difference that characters navigate different languages, nationalities, age groups, and social status as they act, mirror, and switch roles for the play within the film,<em> The Maloja Snake<\/em>. Instead of the summit position as the ultimate goal of mountaineering, the film thus outlines a mountain position less determined by gender, physique, and nationality. In the symbol of the rare and unexplained cloud formation likewise called the Maloja Snake (captured in time-lapse photography by both Arnold Fanck and Assayas), <em>Clouds of Sils Maria<\/em> offers a contemplation on deep time, timelessness, and the passage of time, and opens a space for a contemporary mountain film.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/elibrary.narr.digital\/xibrary\/start.xav?start=%2F%2F%2A%5B%40node_id%3D%270%27%5D#__xibrary__%2F%2F*%5B%40attr_id%3D%27cg564%2Fcg5640311%27%5D__1717545987520\">visit the publisher \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1174\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1174\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2022<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1174\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1174\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-381 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Disease-Extinction-and-Emergences-in-Boyle-and-Atwood-Image-202x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Disease-Extinction-and-Emergences-in-Boyle-and-Atwood-Image-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Disease-Extinction-and-Emergences-in-Boyle-and-Atwood-Image.jpg 403w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>\u201cDisease, Extinction, and Emergences in T.C.

Die Mont Buet Besteigung, die den H\u00f6hepunkt und den Abschluss des ersten Bandes von <em>Voyages dans les Alpe<\/em>s bildet, antizipiert in vieler Sicht die sp\u00e4tere Mont Blanc Erfahrung. Zum einen erlaubten die Barometermessungen auf dem Mont Buet Saussure, die H\u00f6he des Mont Blanc festzustellen und damit dessen Status als h\u00f6chster Berg der Alpen zu best\u00e4tigen entgegen fr\u00fcheren Behauptungen, nach denen das Schreckhorn h\u00f6her sei. Zum anderen nahm vor allem der zweite Aufstieg zum Mont Buet viele der Herausforderungen und einige der Missgeschicke voraus, die Saussure auf dem Mont Blanc erwarteten. Auf dem Mont Buet entwarf Saussure au\u00dferdem eine originelle und \u00fcberraschende Zeichnung, die eine 360-Grad Perspektive liefert und die Ergebnisse beider Besteigungen umfasst. In dieser innovativen Abbildung versucht Saussure \u00fcber die zweidimensionale Sicht der \u00fcblichen Wiedergabe hinauszugehen, um sowohl die genossene Bergaussicht als auch eine imagin\u00e4re Vogelperspektive bildlich darzustellen, wobei die Skizze reale und imagin\u00e4re Bewegungen miteinschlie\u00dft.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/9783110730340\/html?lang=de\">visit the publisher \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1176\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1176\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2020<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1176\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1176\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-384 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chernobyls-Emergent-Landscapes-Image-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chernobyls-Emergent-Landscapes-Image-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chernobyls-Emergent-Landscapes-Image-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chernobyls-Emergent-Landscapes-Image-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chernobyls-Emergent-Landscapes-Image.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>\u201cChernobyl\u2019s Emergent Landscapes in Narratives by Christa Wolf and Alina Bronsky.\u201d Co-authored with Heather I.

In fact, he much influenced British and North American writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Charles Darwin, George Perkins Marsh, Clarence King, and John Muir, as Aaron Sachs (2006), Laura Dassow Walls (2009), and Andrea Wulf (2015) have convincingly shown.<\/p><p>Yet this essay argues that placing Humboldt in the tradition of Western and especially Anglo-American Nature Writing is ultimately problematic since it denies Humboldt\u2019s connections to South and Central American intellectuals and scientists. Moreover, terming Humboldt a nature writer downplays his inherent concerns with human cultures and civilizations. The Nature Writing tradition originating in Europe and the United States delineated particular environments in romantic and nostalgic terms, denoting a position of privilege both in terms of its authors and settings described. In the Anthropocene, when the concept of \u201cnature\u201d as a whole has become increasingly tenuous, classifying Humboldt as a nature writer would be unjustifiable reductive.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-662-62213-1\">visit the publisher (Ger) \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-031-50910-0\">visit the publisher (En) \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1177\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1177\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2019<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1177\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1177\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-386 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tracing-Romanticism-in-the-Anthropocene-Image-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tracing-Romanticism-in-the-Anthropocene-Image-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tracing-Romanticism-in-the-Anthropocene-Image-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tracing-Romanticism-in-the-Anthropocene-Image.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><strong>\u201cTracing Romanticism in the Anthropocene: An Ecocritical Reading of Ludwig Tieck\u2019s <em>The Rune Mountain.<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>Romantic Legacies: Transnational and Transdisciplinary Contexts,<\/em> ed. Shun-Liang Chao and John Michael Corrigan. London: Routledge, 2019. 195-212.<\/strong><\/p><p>In our current age of the Anthropocene, Romantic dreams of a wholesome, unscathed nature seem more distant than ever. Yet this chapter suggests that Romantic literature, while not posing solutions to accelerating environmental dilemmas, contributes relevant insights to the challenges at hand. Specifically, I chart two qualities that make Romantic enquiries timely for environmental debates: first, an openness and mixing of genres that provides new impetus to established and predetermined narrative modes; second, a fluidity of boundaries between humans and nature that permeates Romantic thought and reflects some of the insights of recent theories on material ecocriticism. Whereas the latter offers a theoretical framework to scrutinise the systematic separation of human and nonhuman life, Romantic characters model an embeddedness in a nature that remains animated, inexplicable, and indefinite.<\/p><p>I draw on Ludwig Tieck\u2019s <em>Rune Mountain<\/em> (<em>Der Runenberg,<\/em> 1804)\u2014a tale Thomas Carlyle translated and published in <em>German Romance<\/em> (1827)\u2014as an example to probe Romantic notions of nature in a time of ecological crisis. Written overnight in 1802, <em>Rune Mountain,<\/em> a short enigmatic tale that has long puzzled readers and scholars alike, shows the destructive consequences of perceiving the world in strictly dualistic terms, encouraging us to face the unexpected, mysterious, and strange forces of nature. After pointing to the insufficiency of narrative tropes such as tragedy, apocalypse, pollution, and the sublime to meet the challenges of our ecological decline, I discuss the timeliness of Romantic approaches embracing the fantastic, grotesque, and strange. My analysis then shows how Tieck specifically rejects binary models and instead blurs boundaries in genre, structure, and plot.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Romantic-Legacies-Transnational-and-Transdisciplinary-Contexts\/Chao-Corrigan\/p\/book\/9781032241357\">visit the publisher \u2192\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1178\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1178\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2015<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1178\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1178\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-387 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-213x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-728x1024.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-768x1080.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-1092x1536.jpg 1092w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-1456x2048.jpg 1456w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Human-and-Non-Human-Agencies-Image-scaled.jpg 1820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>\u201cHuman and Non-human Agencies in the Anthropocene.\u201d Co-authored with Gabriele D\u00fcrbeck and Heather I.

Seoul, Korea: DD World, 2016.<\/strong><\/p><p>The era of human impact throughout the Earth\u2019s biosphere since the Industrial Revolution that has recently been named the Anthropocene poses many challenges to the humanities, particularly in terms of human and non-human agency. Using diverse examples from literature, travel reflections, and science that document a wide range of agencies beyond the human including landscape, ice, weather, volcanic energy or gastropods, and insects, this essay seeks to formulate a broader sense of agency. All of our examples probe new kinds of relationships between humans and nature. By configuring a close interconnection and interdependence between these entities, the Anthropocene discourse defines such relationships anew. On the one hand, our examples highlight the negative effects of anthropocentric control and supremacy over nature, but on the other, they depict ambivalent positions ranging from surrender and ecstasy to menace and demise that go hand in hand with the acknowledgment of non-human agencies.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ecozona.eu\/article\/view\/642\">visit the publisher \u2192<\/a>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1179\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"9\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1179\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">2014<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1179\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"9\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1179\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-624 size-full alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/north-face.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/north-face.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.carolineschaumann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/north-face-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>\u201cThe Return of the Bergfilm: <em>Nordwand<\/em> (2008) and <em>Nanga Parbat<\/em> (2010).\u201d<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><em>The German Quarterly<\/em> 87.4 (Fall 2014): 416-39.<\/strong><\/p><p>Offering viewers a filmic <em>Vergangenheitsbew\u00e4ltigung<\/em> of the German mountaineering past, the two recent features <em>Nordwand<\/em> (2008) and <em>Nanga Parbat<\/em> (2010) hark back to the 1920s German <em>Bergfilm<\/em>. While <em>Nordwand<\/em> features a mise-en-sc\u00e8ne, character constellation, and plot strikingly similar to the earlier <em>Bergfilme<\/em>, Philipp St\u00f6lzl takes great care to imbue his film with an anti-Nazi message. Yet St\u00f6lzl&#8217;s insistence upon an Alpine space stripped of complexities and contexts in combination with his fusion of historical facts and melodrama offers German viewers a less burdened and easily digestible approach to the past. In <em>Nanga Parbat<\/em>, Joseph Vilsmaier also presents a kind of filmic <em>Vergangenheitsbew\u00e4ltigung<\/em> of the German mountaineering past by representing mountaineering as an act of postwar rebellion in the spirit of 1968. By presenting free-spirited, morally upright, and ideologically untainted mountain men, both <em>Nordwand<\/em> and <em>Nanga Parbat<\/em> at once resume the moral and aesthetic continuum of the <em>Bergfilm<\/em> and tend to normalize the historically troublesome connections between mountaineering and Nazism. In this way, the films\u2014albeit unwillingly\u2014rehearse some of the same tropes that characterized the <em>Bergfilm<\/em> in the first place, staging the divide between nature and culture, or man and woman, as an eternal, ahistorical struggle.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/gequ.10217\">visit the publisher \u2192<\/a>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent Publications 2025 \u201cViolence, Extinction, and Resilience in Alfred D\u00f6blin\u2019s \u2018The Murder of a Buttercup\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Narratives of Resilience, eds.
