Okay, ich muss umschwenken, weil in der Forschung mehr von Gewitter und zu wenig über gravitative Massenbewegungen stand, aber damit kenne ich mich ja auch aus. Also, neuer Fokus:

- Gravitative Massenbewegungen
- Wetter im Gebirge und am Gebirge
- Sekundärliteratur (angegeben)
- Theologische Referenzen (christlich)
- Geologie
- Geomorphologie
- ein bisschen Katastrophenmanagement

Damit lässt sich aber was machen. Eine kleine Goldgrube für Geograph*innen, die mehrere Spaten bedient. Wettermäßig ein bisschen anders als der Rest, da v. a. Kombi aus Wetter/Geomorphologie. Sehr spannend! Jetzt fehlt nur noch die letzte Erzählung!

Love the use of scale to conceptualize the passing of time in an ecocritical context

There were some moments in this book that were incredibly profound, passages that almost made me cry. And then there were passages that were really hard to not just skim over - which as a deliberate choice to represent how the decay and feelings of elderly people are dismissed in society is brilliant, but it didn't feel too deliberate at all times. I'm not sure, I probably still need more time to process this. But I read it immediately in one sitting after visiting the "Flintridge" VR exhibit by F. Wiesel - which was inspired by the text - and it just made me understand and appreciate the layers of the experience even more. Reading this also made me think of Everywhere at the End of time by The Caretaker, this text feels like a literary pendant on a similar theme. Definitely a read with a subject matter that is worth a deep exploration.
