Abstract

In the ‘society of acceleration and uncertainty’ (Rosa, 2013), the young are struggling to interpret our complex and fast-changing world. The entity and the velocity of changes are so enormous that we need new narratives or languages to conceptualise them. Among those changes “Climate Change” is placed in a particular difficult position. As the writer A. Ghosh said: “The current climate crisis is also a crisis of culture, and thus of the imagination”. In fact, in today’s literature and cinema a strong dichotomy exists between fictional and non-fictional works, but none of those extremities seems suitable to picture an “adequate representation” of climate change issues, particularly those that are related to future. The main goal of my study, carried out within FEDORA EU project, was to understand to what extent the hybrid film form called “mockumentary” (a language that adopts the aesthetics of factual production to give an illusion of truth to invented stories) could inspire and help students in overcoming the mentioned dichotomy, working as a tool to foster the development of argumentative and imaginative skills needed to picture “immaginary yet realistic” climate change scenarios.
