<p>Abstract:</p><p>Environmental humanities explores behaviors and attitudes that facilitated the planetary climate crisis, looking especially at the growing divergence between human perception of time and the slower temporal processes of the natural, non-human world. In order to confront the imminent catastrophic conditions of a destabilized natural environment, it has become paramount to examine the development of behavioral stages in what is called the Anthropocene, to understand how Westernized cultures have envisioned humanity as disconnected or removed from the natural world. Fictional depictions expose the problematic interactions between a teleological view of human progress and the repercussions of such attitudes on the non-human natural world. In three of Benito Pérez Galdós's novels, <i>Doña Perfecta</i>, <i>Marianela</i> and <i>La vuelta al mundo en la "Numancia</i>," Galdós portrays his characters' encounters with the earth's slow tempo with different outcomes that underscore his own developing understanding of human entanglement with the natural world.</p><p>Resumen:</p><p>Las humanidades ambientales exploran comportamientos y actitudes que han facilitado la crisis climatológica planetaria. La divergencia creciente entre la percepción humana del tiempo y los procesos temporales del planeta informa la crisis ambiental que amenaza a toda la humanidad. Para enfrentarse a las condiciones catastróficas de la desestabilización del medio ambiente es imprescindible examinar las etapas de lo que se denomina el Antropoceno, que nos ha llevado a considerar a la especie humana como desconectada de los procesos naturales. Las representaciones ficticias exponen la interacción problemática entre la perspectiva teleológica del progreso tecnológico humano y las consecuencias de tales actitudes en el mundo natural. En las obras analizadas aquà de Benito Pérez Galdós, <i>Doña Perfecta</i>, <i>Marianela</i> y <i>La vuelta al mundo en la "Numancia"</i>, Galdós explora el enfrentamiento de sus personajes con el tiempo lento de la tierra y pone de manifiesto el desarrollo de su propia perspectiva sobre las relaciones entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza.</p>
