Global Perspectives on Eco-Aesthetics and Eco-Ethics: A Green Critique - Hardcover

by Scott Slovic (Foreword by), Krishanu Maiti (Contribution by), Soumyadeep Chakraborty (Contribution by)

Global Perspectives on Eco-Aesthetics and Eco-Ethics: A Green Critique focuses on the interface of the Anthropocene, sustainability, ecological aesthetics, multispecies relationality, and the environment as reflected in literature and culture. This book examines how writers have addressed ecological crises and environmental challenges that transcend national, cultural, political, social, and linguistic borders. It demonstrates how, as the environmental humanities developed and emerged as a critical discipline, it generated a diverse range of interdisciplinary fields of study such as ecographics, ecodesign, ecocinema, ecotheology, ecofeminism, ethnobotany, ecolinguistics, and bioregionalism, and formed valuable, interdisciplinary networks of critique and advocacy--and its contemporary expansion is exceptionally salient to social, political, and public issues today.
