Résumé documentaire — langue originale

This dissertation examines forms of experiencing the world geologically in Anthropocene literature and art. It calls these forms geological sensibilities and understands this concept to encompass specific ways in which literature and art from this cultural-historical period mediate between geological models for making sense of the world and embodied modes of sensing it. To examine these sensibilities, the dissertation investigates works that make use of earthly ways of writing and art-making, examines various ways in which they represent the natural world of strata, veins, mineral ores, and crystalline structures, and looks at how these works are both informed by and critically question ideas from the discourses of geological thought that surround them. Through close readings of the authors Charlotte Smith (1749 – 1806), Elizabeth Bishop (1911 – 1979), and Esther Kinsky (1956), the dissertation shows how literature and art in the Anthropocene organize encounters between the human sensorium and the natural world in conversation, both with and against, larger epistemic systems of geological thought. In doing so, the dissertation describes how the geological conditions specific forms of sensing and making sense of the world, and how art nuances and criticizes these forms in ways that have not yet been adequately described in the growing body of secondary literature on the topic: In contrast to the wide- ranging theoretical frameworks that have historically organized humanistic inquiry in the Anthropocene, especially regarding the relationship between literature, art, and geological thought, this work adopts a mode of sustained textual attention, offering stylistic analyses of the three authors’ representations of nature, landscape, and human presence. In an emergent field of more specialized studies into geological aesthetics, still in search of conceptual coherence, this work establishes the concept of geological sensibility as a foundational framework for describing how the world is experienced geologically in literature and art.
