Reading Storied Corals with the Scientific Poetics of Water
This essay argues that to understand coral communication, we need a new interpretive method that incorporates a creative insight into living oceans and aquatic species or a new conceptual viewpoint that considers their capacity for creative expressions, marking the coming-to-voice of their significance. Since this method combines scientific research and creative engagement with oceanic ontologies in a context where nonhuman languages, creative ex…
What Matters Most Is the Wounded Planet
Ironically, just as many of us are considering the Anthropocene, and theorizing the immense temporal and geographical scale of human impact on “the planet,” something miniscule suddenly topples lif

proposed the term Anthropocene in 2000 for the present interglacial era known as the Holocene. 1 Implicit in the Anthropocene concept is an emphasis on uncertainty and unpredictability brought about by the overwhelming impact of detrimental human activities on planetary ecosystems. As Timothy Clark affirms, "The Anthropocene could be called . . . an effect of radical and unpredictable emergence in the condition of the world." 2 Understandably, ca…
The Scale of the Anthropocene: Material Ecocritical Reflections
This essay considers the messy intra-actions of the Anthropocene agencies using the lenses of material ecocriticism
Nature’s narrative agencies as compound individuals
From Posthumanism to Posthuman Ecocriticim
This essay explores the impact of the posthuman turn on ecocriticism. It proposes that posthuman ecocriticism is a more engaged, more diffractive mode of reading the co-evolution of organisms and inorganic matter in their hybrid configurations. Simply put, ecocriticism becomes post-human, post-natural, and post-green in critiquing the taxonomy of the human and the nonhuman. In doing so, posthuman ecocriticism expands and enhances material ecocrit…
From Material to Posthuman Ecocriticism: Hybridity, Stories, Natures
Toxic bodies and alien agencies: Ecocritical perspectives on ecological others
Similar to postcolonial studies, ecocriticism is a heterogeneous eld of study that does not correspond to any unied discourse. Although internally varied, ecocritical discourses converge on non-anthropocentric knowledge practices, which entail a consensual focus to address and conceptualize the global environmental crisis in socio-cultural and literary contexts. In the current critical moment, the argument goes, “we cannot encounter the natural u…

Feminist Ecocriticism
Transnationalism. Translocalism. Ecoglobalism. Ecocosmopolitalism. Posthumanism. Postcolonial Ecologies. Queer Ecology. Trans-corporeality. New Materialisms. Material Feminisms. 1 These are the new trends that noticeably characterize the current phase of ecocritical studies. They distinctively mark the field’s expansion into more politically and ethically inflected areas of concern, involving diverse but also disparate methodologies and perspecti…

Feminist ecocriticism: The New Ecofeminist Settlement
Taking into account the material feminist theories of "agency," "matter," and "body," this essay examines to what extent material feminisms and trans-corporeality can be productive models for conceptualizing feminist ecocriticism, an anti-phallogocentric ecocritical theory that analyzes the complex dynamics of material agencies across human and nonhuman bodies. By contesting gendered dualities and bodily boundaries, it opens up new ecocritical pa…
Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self
Material Ecocriticism: Materiality, Agency, and Models of Narrativity
The proliferation of studies bearing on the intellectual movement known as the "new materialisms" evinces that a material turn is becoming an important paradigm in environmental humanities. Ranging from social and science studies, feminism, to anthropology, geography, environmental philosophies and animal studies, this approach is bringing innovative ways of considering matter and material relations that, coupled with reflections on agency, text,…

The Future of Ecocriticism: New Horizons
As we enter the second decade of the twenty-first century, concerns dominate the media headlines, from rampant poverty in the developing world to nuclear accidents in industrialized nations. How did human civilization arrive at its current predicaments, and what can we do to temper our habits of mind and mitigate society's environmentally (and socially) destructive behaviors? The field of ecocriticism (also sometimes called environmental criticis…
Ecocriticism's Theoretical Discontents
This essay both reflects upon ecocriticism's investment in cultivating environmental consciousness at a distance from critical reflexivity and explores its theoretical discontents. Arguing for the necessity of bringing theory into praxis, the essay suggests that ecocriticism needs to cross the threshold between discursivity and materiality, experience and representation
The Rhizomatic Trajectory of Ecocriticism
Key words: rhizomatic trajectory, third wave, postmodern ecocriticism, Deleuze and Guattari, interconnected approaches, ecocritical heterogeneity, multiplicity of theories In its third wave, ecocriticism has become multicultural and transnational, and expanded rapidly in terms of epistemological positions and interpretive methods. Its very multiple directions and methodological and theoretical plurality may appear problematic. However, ecocritica…
