Ecoprecarity: Vulnerable Lives in Literature and Culture presents
an examination of ecoprecarity - the precarious lives that humans
lead in the process and event of ecological disaster, and the
increasing precarious state of the environment itself as a result
of human interventions - in contemporary literary-cultural texts.
It studies the representation of 'invasion narratives' of the human
body and the earth by alien life forms, the ecodystopian vision
that informs much environmental thought in popular cultures, the
states of ontological integrity and genetic belonging in the age of
cloning, xenotransplantation and biotechnology's 'capitalisation'
of life itself, and the construction of the 'wild' in these texts.
It pays attention to the ecological uncanny and the monstrous that
haunts ecodystopias and forms of natureculture that emerge in the
bioeconomies since the late twentieth century.
