""" Disastrous Subjectivities is concerned with the impasses of modernity in an era of climate change, where climate is part of a general economy including political, social, and historical environments that confront Romanticism with the disaster of the Real. At the core of the book is the ethical demand made by this disaster, both in the specifically Lacanian sense indicated by the emphasis on the Real, and in a broader sense of ethics for which Kant serves as a 'sign of history.'"" --Tilottama Rajan, Department of English, Western University"
