Environmental Crisis and the Problem of Realism
Lecture by Ursula K. Heise
This lecture will explore the controversies about what kinds of realism are appropriate and effective in environmental communication today, and it will argue that the narrative strategies of science fiction, traditionally considered a secondary or minor genre merely designed for entertainment, offer the most interesting foundations for thinking and talking about global environmental change.

SPEAKER
Ursula K. Heise, UCLA

Jens Martin Gurr, UDE
Roman Bartosch, Universität zu Köln
