Olin’s story is related to the land and the planet Earth, where anthropogenic climate change is evident. In a combination of diverse cinematographic techniques, voice-over, statements from the director’s parents and traditional folk songs about the region, the authors recognise the story of E/ earth from a planetary perspective as told by Dipesh Chakrabarty. The main issues addressed in the paper are the complementary near-ground and aerial views and the connection between Songs of the Earth and the category of the sublime, frequently discussed in posthumanism.}, doi = {}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/przeglad-kulturoznawczy/article/geostoria-i-apollinskie-spojrzenie-w-piesniach-ziemi-margreth-olin} }
