Time and Space in Ulrike Almut Sandig's Buch gegen das Verschwinden: An Ecological Reading.
The six stories in Ulrike Almut Sandig's Buch gegen das Verschwinden, each multi-layered in itself, are linked by leitmotifs so making a cycle that invites repeated reading, rather as a symphony invites repeated listening. The later stories, especially the last sci-fi adventure, cast retrospective l...

Sandig's vividly atmospheric writing has affinities with poetic realism, notably Storm's ‘Der Schimmelreiter’, and stands more broadly in a long post-Enlightenment tradition of fascination with scientific enquiry, yet tension between instrumental reason that seeks mastery over nature and anguished feeling for the natural world under threat from human activity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2018 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
