Blue Extinction in Literature, Art, and Culture de Vera Fibisan

Blue Extinction in Literature, Art, and Culture: Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature

Editat de Vera Fibisan, Rachel Murray
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2024
Blue Extinction in Literature, Culture, and Art examines literary and cultural representations of aquatic biodiversity loss, bringing together key perspectives from the blue humanities and extinction studies. It aims to demonstrate the affordances, as well as the limitations, of literary and artistic forms in exposing the plight of aquatic organisms, drawing attention to the social, political, and economic structures that are contributing to their destruction. Together, the essays in this collection demonstrate how literature and art can challenge dominant cultural conceptions and lingering misconceptions of aquatic biodiversity loss, offering new ways of relating to creatures ranging from southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) to true oysters (Ostreidae).
