Reinhard Hennig, "Nordic Narratives of Nature and the Environment: Ecocritical Approaches to Northern European Literatures and Cultures "
English | ISBN: 149856190X | 2018 | 258 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 16 MB
Many contemporary environmental risks and global environmental changes occurring today are unprecedented in the history of human life on earth. However, the images and narratives through which humans relate to these phenomena are built on existing cultural tropes and narrative models. Cultural, social, and historical contexts strongly influence how we construct images and narratives of nature and the environment. It is therefore highly important to study such narratives in works of literature, film, and other forms of cultural expression in relation to the specific circumstances from which they arise.

Douglas L. Berger, "Neil Young and Philosophy "
English | ISBN: 1498505112 | 2019 | 206 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Neil Young and Philosophy, edited by Douglas L. Berger, explores the meanings, importance, and philosophical dimensions of the music, career, and life of this prolific singer/songwriter over the past five decades. Neil Young's music has touched on a broad range of cultural, political and personal issues, all of which have enormous ongoing relevance for our own times. In order to accommodate Young's artistic breadth, contributions of scholars from a wide variety of fields- American philosophy, ethics, American Indian philosophy, feminist philosophy, psychology, philosophy of mind and religious studies-are included in this collection. They examine everything from Young's environmentalism, invocation of American Indian themes, images of women, and interpretations of human relationships to his confrontations with the music industry, his experiments with recording technologies, his approach to social change, and his methods of creativity. The book builds on the fundamental commitment of the Philosophy and Popular Culture series to see the artist as a philosopher.
