Eva Horn

Eva Horn (b. 1965) is a German cultural and literary scholar whose work explores climate, ecology, and the imaginaries of the Anthropocene. A professor at the University of Vienna, she has written influentially on the aesthetics and politics of ecological crisis, situating cultural forms as crucial to understanding environmental transformations. Her book The Future as Catastrophe (2018, English translation) examines apocalyptic scenarios in literature, science, and politics, tracing how cultural narratives shape responses to risk and crisis. More recently, she has advanced an aesthetics of the Anthropocene, focusing on how latent processes, entanglements, and scale clashes can be rendered perceptible in art and design. Horn’s work calls for modes of explication that make the invisible operations of climate change graspable beyond scientific abstraction. Her interdisciplinary approach positions aesthetics as an indispensable dimension of ecological knowledge and politics.
