An exploration of how writers, artists, and filmmakers expose the
costs and contest the assumptions of the Capitalocene era that
guides readers through the rapidly developing field of Spanish
environmental cultural studies. From the scars left by Franco's
dams and mines to the toxic waste dumped in Equatorial Guinea, from
the cruelty of the modern pork industry to the ravages of mass
tourism in the Balearic Islands, this book delves into the power
relations, material practices and social imaginaries underpinning
the global economic system to uncover its unaffordable human and
non-human costs. Guiding the reader through the rapidly emerging
field of Spanish environmental cultural studies, with chapters on
such topics as extractivism, animal studies, food studies,
ecofeminism, decoloniality, critical race studies, tourism, and
waste studies, an international team of US and European scholars
show how Spanish writers, artists, and filmmakers have illuminated
and contested the growth-oriented and neo-colonialist assumptions
of the current Capitalocene era. Focussed on Spain, the volume also
provides models for exploring the socioecological implications of
cultural manifestations in other parts of the world. CONTRIBUTORS:
