The latest literature shows an intensified focus on the future of the Alps by female authors. This can be illustrated by three novels, one from Austria (Marie Gamillscheg: Alles was glänzt, 2018), one from Germany (Jasmin Schreiber: Endling, 2024) and one from Switzerland (Seraina Kobler: Tal der Schwalben, 2026), how geological deep time is activated in the rewriting of popular Alpine myths and integrated into new narratives. These new Alpine narratives written by women not only form highly sensitive seismographs for the emotional states of the protagonists in the novels, but also a new relationship between centre and periphery, between city and countryside, between dystopia and eutopia. The new female myths turn the traditional narratives upside down in order to leverage their utopian potential. In doing so, cyclical narrative and thought movements can be observed that draw polyphonically on various quasi-geological layers of narrative and experience.
