Making the Invisible Visible: For a Climate Future
Abstract: Climate change is rapidly transforming our world in ways both visible and invisible. Greenhouse gases—invisible to the human eye—cause climate change, with widespread impacts to which we now bear witness. Devastating floods and record-breaking heat waves are some more visible effects. There are others that remain mostly unseen. Making the invisible visible is at the core of this issue of Southern Cultures : using images and words from the contemporary South to show the ubiquity of climate change and how we all experience it. The latest climate science describes in stark detail a narrowing window for meaningful climate action. Despite the science, and policymakers' attempts to negotiate a solution, we haven't yet turned a corner on climate change. While we have the solutions to reduce emissions today, we lack the requisite inspiration and will.
期刊介绍:
In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
