Ecopoetics of Reenchantment: Liminal Realism and Poetic Echoes of
the Earth tackles the reenchantment process at work in a part of
contemporary ecoliterature that is marked by the resurfacing of the
song of the earth topos and of Gaia images. Focusing on the
postmodernist braiding of various, indigenous, and ecofeminist
ontologies, close readings of the animistic and totemic dimensions
of the stories at hand lead to the theorizing of liminal realism-a
mode that shares much with magical realism but that is approached
through an ecopoetic lens, specifically working an interspecies
kind of magic, situating readers in-between human and
other-than-human worlds. This book promotes a worldview based on
relationships of reciprocity and symbiosis. It restores our
capacity for wonder together with our sensitive intelligence.
Liminal realism adopts a stance in-between scientific, mythical,
and poetic worldviews as it calls attention to the soundscapes,
odorscapes, feelscapes, and landscapes of the world. This monograph
offers an original, transdisciplinary, and cross-Atlantic take on
ecopoetics as it straddles the two academic worlds and sparks a
conversation between artworks, theories, and studies emerging from
the English-speaking world as well as from Francophone contexts.
Dwellings of Enchantment: Writing and Reenchanting the Earth offers
ecocritical and ecopoetic readings that focus on multispecies
dwellings of enchantment and reenchant our rapport with the
more-than-human world. It sheds light on the marvelous
entanglements between humans and other life forms coexisting with
us-entanglements that, when fully perceived, call onto humans to
shift perspectives on both the causes and solutions to current
ecological crises. Working against the disenchantment of humans'
relationships with and perceptions of the world entailed by a
modern ontology, this book illustrates the power of ecopoetics to
attune humans to the vibrant matter both within and outside of us.
Braiding indigenous with non-indigenous worldviews, this book
tackles ecopoetics emerging from varying locations in the world. It
underscores the postmodernist, remythologizing processes going on
in many ecopoetic texts, via magical realist modes and mythopoeia.
