Recenzii
Containing essays predominantly by Australians but including scholarship from around the Pacific Rim and beyond, Transcultural Ecocriticism illuminates the environmental dimensions of literary works from Vietnam, Mozambique, China, the U.S., Chile, Britain, and India, as well as Australia, with generous representation of Indigenous cultures. The genres considered are also diverse, as the authors examine the resources for environmentalism and environmental justice of fables, fantasy, science fiction, oral traditions, travel writing, novels, and poems. The thinking here is indeed transcultural, linking carefully situated knowledges to one another as well as to global concerns and planetary responsibilities. Such bringing together of localized particularities with large-scale thinking about global crises, deep time, and planetary space is precisely what's needed in the environmental humanities now. A section of essays on Romanticism valuably highlights intersections of Romantic thinking about nature with colonial oppression, while another cluster of essays explores recent decolonial projects. Several of these present groundbreaking transcultural collaborations between Anglo-Australian and Indigenous (Aboriginal, Mapuche) artists. These exciting projects demonstrate the transformative and liberatory potential of opening to the eco-philosophies of other cultures. As readers of this important collection are introduced to works and traditions of literature they had not previously known, they will gain appreciation for the powerful resources offered by transcultural ecocriticism, especially those in which Indigenous onto-ecologies are at play, for responding, as Peter Minter observes, "to climate change and, among other things, its liability to regimes of coloniality."
