On the Poetics of Vanishing in the Novels "Am Fluss" by Esther Kinsky and "Verzeichniss einiger Verluste" by Judith Schalansky (Summary)
Milka Car
Sažetak
The novel Am Fluss (2014) by Esther Kinsky follows the disappearance of the environment in the post-industrial age in a version of nature writing in the Anthropocene. Relying on the principles of ecocriticism as a transdisciplinary paradigm, the poetics of disappearance in the novels by Esther Kinsky and Judith Schalansky will be analyzed with regard to the ecological vulnerability of the globalized world. Esther Kinsky starts with the term “gestörtes Gelände” (disturbed lands) to describe areas excessively marked by traces of human interference. In Verzeichnis einiger Verluste (2018), Judith Schalansky maps past or lost regions. The paper will show that man is a creature dependent on a complete, threatened ecosystem, based on the theses of philosophers Gernot and Hartmut Böhme with the question of the relationship between man’s inner world (Innenwelt) and life world (Umwelt).
