Sonne, Regen, Wind und Kälte gehören zu den elementaren Umgebungsbedingungen von Kultur. Als Gegenstände kulturwissenschaftlicher Forschung können sie nur im interdisziplinären Zugriff analysiert werden. Denn das Spektrum kultureller Aneignungsformen der atmosphärischen Phänomene reicht von implizitem, unbegrifflichem und praxeologischem „Wissen“ über symbolische Anverwandlungen bis hin zu ästhetischen Bearbeitungen und abstrakten Formatierungen.In diesem Band sind u.a. Beiträge aus den Literaturwissenschaften, aus Kunstgeschichte und Musikwissenschaft sowie aus Ideen-, Kultur- und Wissensgeschichte versammelt. Das Themenspektrum reicht von theoretischen Überlegungen zur „Stimmung“ über Wettertopoi in der Musik, den Regen in der Malerei bis hin zum Schiffbruch im Barockdrama, dem Nordlicht in Wissenschaft und Literatur oder den Mittagsdämon als einer kulturellen Krisenmetapher.

The Environment in Anthropology presents ecology and current environmental studies from an anthropological point of view. From the classics to the most current scholarship, this text connects the theory and practice in environment and anthropology, providing readers with a strong intellectual foundation as well as offering practical tools for solving environmental problems. Haenn, Wilk, and Harnish pose the most urgent questions of environmental protection: How are environmental problems mediated by cultural values? What are the environmental effects of urbanization? When do environmentalists' goals and actions conflict with those of indigenous peoples? How can we assess the impact of "environmentally correct" businesses? They also cover the fundamental topics of population growth, large scale development, biodiversity conservation, sustainable environmental management, indigenous groups, consumption, and globalization. This revised edition addresses new topics such as water, toxic waste, neoliberalism, environmental history, environmental activism, and REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), and it situates anthropology in the multi-disciplinary field of environmental research. It also offers readers a guide for developing their own plan for environmental action. This volume offers an introduction to the breadth of ecological and environmental anthropology as well as to its historical trends and current developments. Balancing landmark essays with cutting-edge scholarship, bridging theory and practice, and offering suggestions for further reading and new directions for research, The Environment in Anthropology continues to provide the ideal introduction to a burgeoning field. --!
