This project considers the renewed significance of coming-of-age literature in the Anthropocene. What happens to depictions of youthful rebellion and human growth when the environment has become a space of irretrievable expenditure and loss? And how might grief help us imagine alternatives to narratives of progress and adulthood? Drawing together strands of queer theory and the environmental humanities that focus on the melancholic refusal to accept ecological degradation, this project offers an important literary context for contemporary eco-protest. It reconceptualises American coming-of-age fiction, addressing it to problems of political resistance and adolescent mental health.

这个项目考虑了人类世中成年文学的新意义。当环境成为一个无法挽回的支出和损失的空间时，对青春叛逆和人类成长的描述会发生什么？悲伤如何帮助我们想象进步和成年叙事的替代品？这个项目汇集了酷儿理论和环境人文学，重点是拒绝接受生态退化，为当代生态抗议提供了一个重要的文学背景。它重新定义了美国成年小说，解决了政治阻力和青少年心理健康问题。
