With twelve original essays that characterize truly international
ecocriticisms, New International Voices in Ecocriticism presents a
compendium of ecocritical approaches, including ecocritical theory,
ecopoetics, ecocritical analyses of literary, cultural, and musical
texts (especially those not commonly studied in mainstream
ecocriticism), and new critical vistas on human-nonhuman relations,
postcolonial subjects, material selves, gender, and queer
ecologies. It develops new perspectives on literature, culture, and
the environment. The essays, written by contributors from the
United States, Canada, Germany, Turkey, Spain, China, India, and
South Africa, cover novels, drama, autobiography, music, and
poetry, mixing traditional and popular forms. Popular culture and
the production and circulation of cultural imaginaries feature
prominently in this volume-how people view their world and the
manner in which they share their perspectives, including the way
these perspectives challenge each other globally and locally. In
this sense the book also probes borders, border transgression, and
border permeability. By offering diverse ecocritical approaches,
the essays affirm the significance and necessity of international
perspectives in environmental humanities, and thus offer unique
responses to environmental problems and that, in some sense, affect
many beginning and established scholars.
