How does literature matter politically in the 21st century? This
book offers an ecocritical framework for exploring the significance
of literature today. Featuring a diverse body of texts and authors,
it develops a future-oriented politics embedded in those
transgressive realities which our political system finds impossible
to tame. This book re-imagines political agency, voices, bodies and
borders as transformative processes rather than rigid realities,
articulating a 'dia-topian' literary politics. Taking a contextual
approach, it addresses such urgent global issues as biopolitics,
migration and borders, populism, climate change, and terrorism.
These readings revitalize fictional worlds for political enquiry,
demonstrating how imaginative literature seeds change in a world of
closed-off horizons. Prior to the pragmatics of power-play,
literary language breathes new energy into the frames of our
thought and the shapes of our affects. This book shows how
relation, metamorphosis and enmeshment can become salient in a
politics beyond the conflict line.
