This project examines how contemporary anglophone novels portray plants as dynamic, entangled beings living in and affected by environmental change, crisis, and biodiversity loss. I study how fiction, by means of formal and thematic strategies, can, on the one hand, concretise, visualise and bring under our attention how plants experience anthropogenic environmental change; plants bear witness to climate change, and physically retain, i.e. remember, these experiences. On the other hand, I explore how plants in fiction can function as mediators of environmental change: characters can witness climate change - and respond in affectively diverse ways - by paying attention to plants. Methodologically, my approach is informed by insights from econarratology, (slow) memory studies, and work on climate change related affects.
