Beschreibung
Sense of Place and Sense of Planet analyzes the relationship between the imagination of the global and the ethical commitment to the local in environmentalist thought and writing. Through in-depth theoretical discussions as well as detailed analyses of texts and artworks, the book establishes connections between environmentalism and ecocriticism, on one hand, and theories of globalization, transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, and risk analysis, on the other.
