Ecopoetics and the Global Landscape : Critical Essays, Hardback Book

Ecopoetics and the Global Landscape : Critical Essays Hardback

Edited by Isabel Sobral Campos

Part of the Ecocritical Theory and Practice series

Hardback

Description

Ecopoetics and the Global Landscape: Critical Essays surveys ecopoetry from a global perspective across different historical epochs.

Its comparative approach foregrounds the importance of ecopoetics within the context of distinct national literatures and cultures to reveal the ubiquitous intersection of poetry with ecocriticism.

The collection analyzes environmental problems resulting from the legacies of colonialism and focuses on issues of environmental justice and indigenous issues as well as on the intersection of genocide studies and environmentalism.

It also examines ecologically-informed modes of relating to the world.

In particular, it engages with interactions between the human and nonhuman as well as mind and matter.

Finally, it broadens the scope of place to include both the absent land of exiled peoples, and the urban, built environment.
