This book addresses the intersections between the interdisciplinary
realms of Ecocriticism and Indigenous and Native American Studies,
and between academic theory and pragmatic eco-activism conducted by
multiethnic and indigenous communities. It illuminates the
multi-layered, polyvocal ways in which artistic expressions render
ecological connections, drawing on scholars working in
collaboration with Indigenous artists from all walks of life,
including film, literature, performance, and other forms of
multimedia to expand existing conversations. Both local and global
in its focus, the volume includes essays from multiethnic and
Indigenous communities across the world, visiting topics such as
Navajo opera, Sami film production history, south Indian tribal
documentary, Maori art installations, Native American and First
Nations science-fiction literature and film, Amazonian poetry, and
many others. Highlighting trans-Indigenous sensibilities that speak
to worldwide crises of environmental politics and action against
marginalization, the collection alerts readers to movements of
community resilience and resistance, cosmological thinking about
inter- and intra-generational multi-species relations, and
understandings of indigenous aesthetics and material ecologies. It
engages with emerging environmental concepts such as multispecies
ethnography, cosmopolitics, and trans-indigeneity, as well as with
new areas of ecocritical research such as material ecocriticism,
biosemiotics, and media studies. In its breadth and scope, this
book promises new directions for ecocritical thought and
environmental humanities practice, providing thought-provoking
insight into what it means to be human in a locally situated,
globally networked, and cosmologically complex world.
