Since its emergence in the second half of the nineteenth century, American environmentalism had predominantly been a white, middle-class pursuit, preoccupied with notions of wilderness and wildlife preservation. Only fairly recently, with the advent of the environmental justice movement in the 1980s, has American environmentalism broadened its definition of "environment" to include the concerns relevant to a community's way of living. Especially the concerns of poor urban communities of color, which have been exposed to environmental hazards disproportionately, have entered the political agenda. This volume shows that African Americans have contributed to the efforts of the environmental justice movement not only as political activists, but also as writers.

Klimawandel, Umweltgerechtigkeit, Biotechnologie - am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts markieren diese Stichworte die wachsende gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Ökologie- und Umweltfragen. Darüber hinaus rufen sie die Krise des Verhältnisses zwischen Kultur und Natur ins Bewusstsein. Angesichts dieser Tatsachen ist es dringend notwendig, die Funktion der Geisteswissenschaften, insbesondere der Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften, neu zu bestimmen. Der vorliegende Band, der einen Einblick in das noch junge Feld ökologisch orientierter Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft bietet, will dazu einen Beitrag leisten. Die Herausgeberinnen gehen von zwei zentralen Prämissen aus: (1) unser Zugang zur Welt ist immer ein symbolisch bzw. diskursiv vermittelter und (2) das gegenwärtige, krisenhafte Verhältnis zwischen Natur und Kultur verweist auf eine Krise der Phantasie, der Imagination und des Denkens, mithin also auf eine ästhetische und epistemologische Krise. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze beleuchten historische, poetologische und konzeptuelle Dimensionen dieses Zustandes. Damit soll deutlich gemacht werden, dass die Lösung von Umweltproblemen, die Bewältigung der in ihrer Dimension letztlich globalen Krise und damit die Ökologisierung von Gesellschaften nur dann gelingen kann, wenn die kulturell formative Funktion von Texten in ihrer Relevanz erkannt und in den umweltpolitischen Diskussions- bzw. Problemlösungsprozess eingebracht wird.

Nature in Literary and Cultural Studies is a collection of essays written by European and North American scholars who argue that nature and culture can no longer be thought of in oppositional, mutually exclusive terms. They are united in an effort to push the theoretical limits of ecocriticism towards a more rigorous investigation of nature's critical potential as a concept that challenges modern culture's philosophical assumptions, epistemological convictions, aesthetic principles, and ethical imperatives. This volume offers scholars and students of literature, culture, history, philosophy, and linguistics new insights into the ongoing transformation of ecocriticism into an innovative force in international and interdisciplinary literary and cultural studies.

Ever since feminist scholarship began to reintroduce Harriet Beecher Stowe''s writings to the American Literary canon in the 1970's, critical interest in her work has steadily increased. Beyond Uncle Tom's Cabin: The Writings of Harriet Beecher Stowe, edited by Sylvia Mayer and Monika Mueller, shows that during her long writing and publishing career, Stowe was a highly prolific writer who targeted diverse audiences, dealt with drastically changing economic, commercial, and cultural contexts, and wrote in a diversity of genres.

Since the 1980s, "risk" has been one of the most productively employed categories of analysis in the social sciences. Risk theory and risk research in these disciplines have shown that pervasive risk awareness has increasingly reconfigured societies, politics, and cultures in our period of late modernity. The essays assembled in this volume extend risk research in the humanities to literary and cultural studies and analyze a wide range of literary and audiovisual texts that imagine human encounters with environmental risk in North America. They are grouped into three sections. The first sectio
