Abstract

Based on Latour’s ideas concerning the cosmology of the Anthropocene, as well as Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the carnivalesque body, which he associates with medieval popular culture and Renaissance literature, this essay seeks to propose an approach to literature that allows us to confront in a festive way the cosmic fear inspired by the new climatic regime.
