This volume of Austrian Studies examines the presence of the now well-established paradigm of the Anthropocene — which perceives human activity as a geological force that is leaving an indelible trace on the fabric of the planet — in Austrian literature and culture. In eleven wide-ranging contributions, the volume highlights the entanglements of Austrian literature, film and contemporary culture with environments and ecologies in the age of climate breakdown. Join us for an online launch and discussion with the editors Dr Nicola Thomas (Lancaster University) and Prof. Caitríona Ní Dhúill (University College Cork / University of Salzburg), in conversation with Prof. Dr. Eva Horn (University of Vienna / Vienna Anthropocene Network).
