Abstract / Summary

A discussion of two recent graphic novels that dress ecological crisis: Stephanie McMillan’s and Derrick Jensen’s As the World Burns: 50 simple things you can do to stay in denial, and Nick Hayes’ The Rime of the Modern Mariner. In asking what it is exactly that these stories are trying to do, the discussion uses them both to explore the related idea of “cultural psychotherapy”, proposed in 2008 by the human ecologist Alastair McIntosh.
