Earth Polyphony: Law, Ecocriticism, and Eco-activism in Postcolonial India: Environment and Society

Autor Suhasini Vincent
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 feb 2024
In Earth Polyphony, Suhasini Vincent analyzes the theory of ecocriticism in its entirety, and its existence in the global paradigm of climate change. Vincent shows how a polyphony of voices can affect law and decision making in the era of the Anthropocene, and aptly shows how voices can coexist as in Bakhtinian polyphony where multiple perspectives coexist despite contradictions and differences.
Vincent argues that both material and non-material worlds are endowed with storied forms of knowledge that prompt ecocritical writers to engage in new experimental modes of expression. She explores the 'material turn', the 'animal turn' and the 'narrative turn' to highlight how law meets literature, prompts eco-activism, and how these crisscrossing narratives influence each other to spark judicial activism in forums around the planet.

Recenzii

Suhasini Vincent takes you on a compelling journey through both time (from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene) and space (from a global context to the postcolonial India she knows so well). Her holistic approach contains a polyphony of voices, perspectives, and disciplines (from law and economics to literature and the media) intertwining effortlessly through an original mix of Indian eco-critical narratives and a panorama of genres. This book is impressively researched and highly engaging with its clear, lively prose.
Suhasini Vincent's Earth Polyphony constitutes a crucial intervention at the crossroads between environmental, legal, societal and literary realms. Not only does it show how connected these various issues may be - the author also shows how recasting configurations of justice, nature, communities and textual practices allows us to project a better future. Vincent's privileged insight into Indian realities resonates in each and every page while her thorough investigation into new fields of academic research offers a fresh and astute perspective. This volume will be rather useful to students, academics, and the general public interested in Indian worlds and their diasporic extensions.
