Trauma and the Discourse of Climate Change: Literature, Psychoanalysis and Denial

By Lee Zimmerman

Book Overview

Zimmerman presents an interdisciplinary study of climate change and how the dominant discourses associated with it contribute to a form of cultural denial. It explores how the climate change discourse can be illuminated by framing it in terms of the trope of trauma, and considers how literary responses to the climate crisis participate in this.
