Switzerland. But she is also happy to succumb to the pull of the oceanic beach and is an avid collector of shells. This dual interest is reflected in her work on water, in which she has been engaged since 2006.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><em>Haunting Ecologies: Victorian Conceptions of Water<\/em> (forthcoming at the University of Virginia Press 2024), her book on Victorian engagements with fresh water, sets out to supplement the current focus on saltwater in the Blue Humanities. For this work, she was awarded a postdoctoral Marie Heim-V\u00f6gtlin scholarship by the SNSF (http:\/\/p3.snf.ch\/project-151418). <\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-GB\">But she also shares a longstanding interest in cultural representations of the beach with Virginia Richter, which over the years has led to a close and productive collaboration on all things littoral. Together, they organised a conference and several panels on littoral studies, gave conference presentations, published a book chapter, and co-edited the volume <\/span><i><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Beach in Anglophone Literatures and Cultures\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span lang=\"EN-GB\">(Ashgate 2015).

The clash between pain and pleasure, violence and leisure that characterises these descriptions, however, is still at the forefront of Ursula\u2019s interest in the beach as a conflicted site that exposes cultures in crisis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Ursula\u2019s research concentrates on the fields of Victorian and postcolonial studies and the Environmental, specifically the Blue, Humanities, with a specific focus on prose writing of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. She is particularly interested in new materialism, all things aquatic and littoral, and in non-realist forms of writing.\u00a0 From 2013-2015, she was a member of the DFG-Netzwerk\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/portal.uni-freiburg.de\/ndl\/forschung\/dfg_netzwerk\"><i>Ethics und Aesthetics in Literary Representations of Ecological Transformations<\/i><\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">.

The Mediterranean as Fugitive Space<\/span><\/strong><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project takes its impetus from the current refugee crisis and examines the manner in which the view of the beach is changing in its wake. Specifically, the focus is on the beach as a contact zone that exposes cultures in crisis, as shown particularly in clashes between vacationscape and thanatoscape, and on how different texts and genres of Anglophone literature register and represent the conflicts and shifts between these two functions. In literary texts, this clash is often represented by different sensory engagements with the materiality of the sea and the beach: the currents and breakers which denote pleasure for bathing tourists are acutely threatening to refugees. The project breaks new ground through its inclusion of children and young adult fiction, as well as picture books and graphic novels, literary forms that have been among the first to react to the migration crisis. With their ethically motivated attempt to link the situation of refugees to the world of young readers, these genres merit special attention, specifically with regard to the tourist beach, which forms a cosmopolitan contact zone for young readers in particular.<\/p><p><\/p><menu id=\"fcltHTML5Menu1\" type=\"context\"><\/menu><menu id=\"fcltHTML5Menu1\" type=\"context\"><\/menu><menu
