Southeast Asian Ecocriticism presents a timely exploration of the
rapidly expanding field of ecocriticism through its devotion to the
writers, creators, theorists, traditions, concerns, and landscapes
of Southeast Asian countries. While ecocritics have begun to turn
their attention to East and South Asian contexts and, particularly,
to Chinese and Indian cultural productions, less emphasis has been
placed on the diverse environmental traditions of Southeast Asia.
Building on recent scholarship in Asian ecocriticism, the book
gives prominence to the range of theoretical models and practical
approaches employed by scholars based within, and located outside
of, the Southeast region. Consisting of twelve chapters, Southeast
Asian Ecocriticism includes contributions on the ecological prose,
poetry, cinema, and music of Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the
Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The authors emphasize the
transnational exchanges of materials, technologies, texts, motifs,
and ideas between Southeast Asian countries and Australia, England,
Taiwan (Formosa), and the United States. From environmental
hermeneutics, postcolonial studies, indigenous studies, and
ecofeminism to critical plant studies, ecopoetics, and ecopedagogy,
the edited collection embodies the dynamic breadth of
interdisciplinary environmental scholarship today. Southeast Asian
Ecocriticism foregrounds the theories, practices, and prospects of
ecocriticism in the region. The volume opens up new directions and
reveals fresh possibilities not only for ecocritical scholarship in
Southeast Asia but for a comparative environmental criticism that
transcends political boundaries and national canons. The volume
highlights the important role of literature in heightening
awareness of ecological issues at local, regional, and global
scales.
