        Abstract
        This book tackles air as a cultural, medical, and environmental phenomenon. Its major aim is to explore air’s visibility and invisibility within the environment through the investigation of such phenomena as pollution and pandemics. The book provides environmental and medical perspectives on air, in particular how it has historically been envisioned in U.S., Canadian, and British cultural and literary narratives, and explores how these representations and the constructed meanings of air can help us understand the complex nature of air as it pertains to the COVID-19 pandemic, air pollution, and broader environmental degradation.
         
        Dieses Buch befasst sich mit Luft als kulturelles, medizinisches und ökologisches Phänomen. Sein Hauptziel ist es, die Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit der Luft in der Umwelt durch Phänomene wie Verschmutzung und Pandemien zu untersuchen. Das Buch bietet ökologische und medizinische Perspektiven von Luft, insbesondere, wie sie in den kulturellen und literarischen Texten der USA, Kanadas und Großbritanniens historisch gesehen wurde, und untersucht, wie diese Darstellungen und die konstruierten Bedeutungen der Luft uns helfen können, die komplexe Natur der Luft im Zusammenhang mit der COVID-19-Pandemie, der Luftverschmutzung und der Umweltzerstörung im Allgemeinen zu verstehen.
