播音员:极端高温是气候灾难的主要原因,但其危害难以被公众感知,媒体报道也存在不足。当历史记录不足时,虚构作品可以介入,补充历史的空白。面对历史记录的缺失,历史学家不应该放弃讲述这些故事,因为这本身就是一种不公正。 Jake Bittle:极端高温是致命的,但其危害难以被公众感知,媒体报道也存在不足,例如未能充分强调其与气候变化的关系,以及政府对高温灾害的应对不足。 Eloise Blondiau:近年来,历史小说成为文学界的热门类型,这与历史小说家对历史的重新审视,以及对边缘化群体历史的关注有关。 Tiya Miles:历史学家应该善用有限的历史资料,通过多种方式,例如结合虚构创作,来讲述那些被历史遗忘的故事,特别是边缘化群体的历史。
