ISBN: 978-1-781889-87-9 (paperback) Access online: At Project MUSE Austrian Studies 30 examines the implications of the now well-established theoretical paradigm of the Anthropocene — the current geological epoch, in which humans are leaving an indelible trace on the fabric of the planet — for research on Austrian literature and culture. Ideas of environment and place have featured prominently in the Austrian cultural imagination, not least in the form of Alpine landscapes. Against this backdrop of geological ‘deep’ time made visible, the social and cultural fabric of contemporary Austria comes sharply into relief. Climate breakdown and rising temperatures are already having dramatic effects on snowfall and glaciers in the Alpine regions, causing major economic and environmental impacts, while negotiation with the realities of migration continues to determine political agendas and is increasingly linked — often in misleading ways — to environmental concerns. The volume explores literature and film from and about Austria in the context of the Anthropocene and highlights the entanglements of Austrian culture with environments and ecologies in the age of climate breakdown. Volume 30 of Austrian Studies is edited by Caitríona Ní Dhúill and Nicola Thomas.
