Description

A study of how the climate crisis is changing human communication from a celebrated rhetorician.   Why is it difficult to talk about climate change?

Debra Hawhee argues that contemporary rhetoric relies on classical assumptions about humanity and history that cannot conceive of the present crisis.

How do we talk about an unprecedented future or represent planetary interests without privileging our own species?

A Sense of Urgency explores four emerging answers, their sheer novelty a record of both the devastation and possible futures of climate change.

In developing the arts of magnitude, presence, witness, and feeling, A Sense of Urgency invites us to imagine new ways of thinking with our imperiled planet.
