Ecodisaster and Dystopian Imagination: Global Perspectives in Literature and Culture: Ecocritical Theory and Practice

Editat de Soumyadeep Chakraborty, Indrajit Mukherjee
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2027
This volume explores how ecodisaster narratives and dystopian elements in literature and culture provide us with a rich framework for dissecting the pressing ethical and metaphysical concerns that threaten human agency and the authentic existence of life-forms across the globe. The volume delves deep into the dynamic ideas related to the 'human-nonhuman-nature-culture interface,' examines the recent interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary trends in the cultural representations of disaster at different levels across the globe, and explores the cross-currents in the discourse of environmental humanities.
