The American Climate Emergency Narrative: Origins, Developments and Imaginary Futures
The American Climate Emergency Narrative reveals reveals how much of what has been called "climate fiction" casts ecological breakdown as an emergency for American capitalist modernity rather than for the planet. The book traces the origins of this narrative back to the arrival of settler capitalism in America, when the understanding of the planet and its people as extractable resources was established. Since then, this narrative has elided the v…
Special issue introduction: Representation of diasporic food cultures
Diasporic food cultures enter dominant societies through a variety of manners and spaces, in homes, at food fairs, restaurants, through cookbooks, in supermarkets, but also in visual media. This special section investigates how the representations of diasporic food cultures in popular television and film mediate a variety of food traditions which negotiate and challenge dominant societal assumptions about the present, the past and the future of f…
Climate diaspora and future food cultures in Snowpiercer (2013) and The Road (2009)
This article takes as its starting point the realization that existing food regimes and the food systems that enable them are the main drivers of climate change.This, the article notes, is a systemic challenge, but also a profoundly cultural issue as the way that people eat is deeply connected to questions of identity and belonging.The article enters this field of inquiry by studying how the awareness that current food systems are unsustainable i…
Dark Scenes from Damaged Earth: The Gothic Anthropocene
What can the Gothic teach us about our current geological era? More than just spooky, moonlit castles and morbid graveyards, the Gothic represents a vibrant, emergent perspective on the Anthropocene. In this volume, more than a dozen scholars move beyond longstanding perspectives on the Anthropoceneâ such as science fiction and apocalyptic narrativesâ to show that the Gothic offers a unique (and dark) interpretation of events like climate change,…
The Adivasi and the undead: From (post)colonial carnage to Necrocene apocalypse in Betaal (2020)
In conversation with work by Mahasweta Devi, Arundhati Roy and Jason W. Moore, this article shows how the 2020 Indian Netflix zombie miniseries Betaal aligns British colonial-capitalist oppression with the neocolonial-capitalist violence performed by Indian soldiers on India’s indigenous Adivasi community. Merging the (post)colonial with the post-apocalyptic in spectacular and violent ways, Betaal tells the story of elimination of an Adivasi comm…
Decolonising the Covid-19 pandemic: On being in this together
At its inception, the COVID-19 pandemic was described as something inherently new, capable of crossing and erasing the economic, racial, gendered, and religious divides that stratify societies around the world. However, the ongoing pandemic is not new or egalitarian, but fuelled by, and fuelling, crises already under way on a global scale. In this article we examine on the one hand the relationship between the pandemic and still-active formations…
Challenging ecoprecarity in Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker trilogy
The starting point of this article is the escalating climate crisis, the precarity it has already caused in the Global South, and the fact that nations in the Global North have also begun to suffer from climate change, a development that is likely to accelerate in the future. The focus of the article is the disagreement within eco-socialist and postcolonial scholarship on the future of capitalism and on how global relations will change in a world…
Christina Larsdotter and the Swedish Postcolonial Novel
Introduction: Nordic Colonialisms and Scandinavian Studies
While a number of European area studies have long discussed colonial pasts and postcolonial presents, post-World War II historical research on the European North has not until recently begun to consider the ways in which this region contributed to, benefitted from, and now inhabit colonial histories

Black Hawk-Down: Adaptation and the Military-Entertainment Complex
This article investigates the non-fiction book Black Hawk Down (1999) by Mark Bowden, Black Hawk Down the movie (2001) directed by Ridley Scott, and the computer game Delta Force: Black Hawk Down (2003). The article suggests that while the movie and the game must be studied as adaptations of the first text, the tools developed by adaptation studies, and that are typically used to study the transfer of narratives from one media form to another, do…

Ethnopharmacological practices by livestock farmers in Uganda: Survey experiences from Mpigi and Gulu districts
BACKGROUND: There is continued reliance on conventional veterinary drugs including anthelmintics, to some of which resistance has developed. Loss of indigenous technical knowledge (ITK) from societies affects the opportunities for utilization of ethnopharmacological practices unless properly documented. This study was conducted to identify common traditional practices using medicinal plants against helminthosis and other livestock diseases in Mpi…
Transnational and Postcolonial Vampires
Throughout the ages, vampires have transgressed the borders of gender, race, class, propriety and nations. This collection examines the vampire as a postcolonial and transnational phenomenon that maps
Parables for the paranoid: Affect and the war gothic
This paper discusses a series of horror war films set during the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq with the help of the concept of affect as outlined by Eve Sedgwick and Brian Massumi. The films studied in this paper combine the zombie genre with the military invasion story so that monstrous affect is always produced against what is referred to as a super-political landscape. In analysing these films, the paper abandons the a priori expectatio…

Taking up the White Man’s Burden? American Empire and the Question of History
1. IntroductionIf Britain obtained its empire in ''a fit of absence of mind,'' as Sir John Seeley once remarked, the United States has acquired its empire in a state of deep denial, or so Michael Ignatieff argued in an article from 2003. It would seem that this denial characterizes large portions of the American public and most members of the current Presidential administration. However, an increasing number of political and historical writers an…
