Cover of Sofia (Uppsala University, Sweden) Ahlberg: Magic, Literature and Climate Pedagogy in a Time of Ecological Crisis (ePUB)

Channeling the creative potential of humanity to transition towards joyous and just futures in times of life-threatening climate change, this book uses metaphors of magic and shapeshifting to imagine liveable futures achievable through other-than-rational means.

Focusing on a wide range of 20th and 21st-century novels from a diverse range of writers such as Madeline Miller, Jeff Vander Meer, Ursula Le Guin, N.K. Jemisin, Ambelin Kwaymullina and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, it suggests that readers take seriously the pedagogical potential of magic in literature for the classroom and beyond while providing them with contextualized, collective methods of climate action.
