Synopsis

This book makes a case for the transformative power of story by cross-fertilizing narrative theory, environmental philosophy, and the close reading of a number of contemporary works, to help us in navigating climate uncertainty and appreciating the more-than-human scale-but also the tragic ramifications-of the ecological crisis.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Marco Caracciolo is Associate Professor of English and Literary Theory at Ghent University, Belgium. Drawing inspiration from cognitive science, the philosophy of mind, and the environmental humanities, his work explores the forms of experience afforded by narrative in literary fiction and other media (especially video games). Between 2017 and 2022 he led the ERC-funded NARMESH project at Ghent University, which focused on negotiations of the nonhuman in contemporary narrative. He is the author of several books, including most recently Contemporary Narrative and the Spectrum of Materiality (2023) and On Soulsring Worlds: Narrative Complexity, Digital Communities, and Interpretation in Dark Souls and Elden Ring (2024). He received the Barbara and George Perkins Prize of the International Society for the Study of Narrative for his 2022 book Slow Narrative and Nonhuman Materialities. Marco's game scholarship has appeared in Games and Culture, Game Studies, and Eludamos.
