This volume traces the interconnections between myth,
environmentalism, narrative, poetry, comics and innovative artistic
practice, using this as a framework through which to examine
strategies for repairing our unhealthy relationship with the
planet. Challenging late capitalist modes encouraging mindless
consumption and the degradation of human-nature relations, this
collection advocates a re-evaluation of the ethical relation to
"living with" and sharing the earth. Myth and the environment have
shared a rich common cultural history travelling as far back as the
times of storytelling and legend, with the environment often the
central theme. Following a robust introduction, the book is
organised into three main sections: Myth, Disaster and Present-Day
Views on Ecological Damage; Indigenous and Afro-Diasporic Myths and
Ecological Knowledge; Art Practices Myth and Environmental
Resilience; and concludes with a Coda from Jeanette Hart-Mann. The
methodology draws from diverse perspectives, such as ecocriticism,
new materialism and Anthropocene studies, offering a truly
interdisciplinary discussion that reflects on the dialogue among
environment and myth, whilst a broad range of contributions are
included from Canada, United States, the Caribbean, Ukraine, Japan,
Morocco, and Brazil. This volume will be of interest for students,
scholars, activists and experts in environmental humanities, myth
and myth criticism, literature and art on more-than human and
nature interaction, ecocriticism, environmental activism, and
climate change.
