Mourning Nature: Hope at the Heart of Ecological Loss and Grief. Cunsolo, A. & Landman, K., editors McGill-Queen’s UP, Montreal, 2017. abstract bibtex The essays in this anthology all use the concept of “mourning” to discuss how humans respond to environmental destruction. While their close readings are insightful, I find the word “mourning” less compelling than “trauma” because unlike the former, the latter captures climate change’s incomprehensibility – or, to put it another way, the fact that the magnitude of the threat posed by climate change in some ways defies mental representation. (It is worth noting that the word “trauma” appears in several of these essays – a fact that suggests that the authors are themselves aware of the limitations of their conceptual framework.)
