AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This article seeks to show how literary texts can expand, challenge, and advance existing understandings of empathy. In this article I discuss Australian author Jennifer Mills' novel, Dyschronia. Through excursions into the thought of Jacques Derrida and Paul Ricoeur I demonstrate how Dyschronia can reconfigure existing ideas about what it means for humans to empathise with nonhuman animals.'

At the end of 2019, prior to the global spread of Covid-19, we decided to work on a special issue with the theme of writing climate. As 2020 progressed and the higher education system adapted to the new circumstances, we decided that it would be best to publish a general issue, including works which focus on the theme of writing climate. Issue thirty-nine attests to the passion and motivation of our ongoing editors and authors. It is with great pride that we thank all of them for their outstanding work.' (Editorial introduction) 2020
