商品描述
The future is up for debate - not only, but particularly in light of climate change. The catastrophic outlook stands in stark contrast to the optimism of progress rooted in Western modernity. Thus, it is not just the prospect but the concept of future itself that must be rethought.
This book explores modern society's relationship to the future in view of climate change: Through a narratological discourse analysis, it provides an overview of how climate change has been narrated in 21st-century climate documentary films, with particular attention to their final sequences and the prospects they articulate. The study traces how these cinematic anticipations can be read as expressions of a contested time regime and derives novel figurations of future that mirror or confront the ideological conditions of the present.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
未來的議題值得討論——不僅如此,尤其是在氣候變遷的背景下。災難性的前景與根植於西方現代性的進步樂觀形成鮮明對比。因此,不僅是前景,甚至未來的概念本身也必須重新思考。本書探討現代社會在氣候變遷背景下與未來的關係:透過敘事學的話語分析,提供21世紀氣候紀錄片中氣候變遷敘述的概覽,特別關注其結尾片段及其所表達的前景。該研究追溯這些電影預期如何被解讀為一種有爭議的時間體制的表現,並衍生出反映或對抗當前意識形態條件的新型未來形象。
