ABSTRACT
This essay suggests that the status of the field in the humanistic sciences has altered in the decades of scholarship responsive to anthropogenic climate change, and that the methodological tools available to tend to this shift involve a reconsideration of environmental deixis and intensional reading and writing. While much of the analytic impulse forwarding attention to deixis and intensionality has come from anthropology, I suggest that cultural analysis has always been a discipline uniquely sensitive to the iterative and situated relation between reader, object, and field, and is thus a discipline well-suited to experimental forms of collaborative and creative fieldwork outside of the classroom.
