Erin James and Eric Morel's volume \u003ci\u003eEnvironment and Narrative: New Directions in Econarratology\u003c\/i\u003e explores the complexity of pairing material environments and their representations with narrative forms of understanding. \u003cbr\u003e To explore the methodological possibilities within \"econarratology,\" the contributors evaluate the mechanics of how narratives convey environmental understanding via building blocks such as the organization of time and space, characterization, focalization, description, and narration. They also query how readers emotionally and cognitively engage with such representations and how the process of encountering different environments in narratives stands to affect real-world attitudes and behaviors. By positioning narratives as important repositories of values, political and ethical ideas, and behaviors that determine how we engage with our ecological homes, the authors in this volume suggest that to change the way that we interact with the environment requires not only new stories but also a better understanding of the ones that have long been in circulation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814255655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814255650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Erin James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945999073535,"sku":"9780814255650","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d325cb3d-3869-43f3-ba19-bc33d9b5b4db.jpg?v=1681510959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environment-and-narrative-erin-james-9780814255650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
