Narrating the Mesh

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the interplay between narrative form and environmental issues, the book explores how storytelling can challenge the hierarchical views of human societies towards nature that contribute to the climate crisis. Drawing on Timothy Morton's "mesh" metaphor, it examines how various literary genres, including novels and short stories, utilize formal techniques to express the complex connections between human communities and nonhuman elements, highlighting the potential of narrative to foster a deeper understanding of these relationships.
