Environmental Justice, Vital Materiality, and the Toxic Sublime in Edward Burtynsky’s Manufactured Landscapes
Manufactured Landscapes, the 2006 film directed by Jennifer Baichwal, is a documentary portrayal of the work of Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. The film explores Burtynsky as he documents sites of extraction, factory production, and waste disposal around the world.

Environmental Justice, Transnationalism, and the Politics of the Local in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead
Author(s): Ray, Sarah Jaquette | Abstract: This article analyzes Leslie Marmon Silko’s 1991 novel, Almanac of the Dead, drawing on insights from environmental justice ecocriticism and geographical theory. Ray argues that the novel offers an ethic of place that creates conditions for environmental justice. Her analysis focuses on a question that is fundamentally geographical: what kind of ethic of place is most likely to create the conditions for …
Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self
It is easy to see why Bodily Natures earned the 2011 ASLE Book Award in Ecocriticism. Building on her environmentalist-feminist epistemologies in Undomesticated Ground and her notion of "trans-corporeality" in Material Feminisms, Alaimo further develops her theories about the relationship between materiality (of both bodies and environments) and knowledge (both subjective, corporeal knowledge and scientific/medical expertise). Alaimo broadens the…
Environmentalism in Popular Culture: Gender, Race, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Natural
Purists may find it distasteful to speak of the “environment” and “popular culture” in the same breath. In recent years, though, precipitated by the work of William Cronon, Andrew Ross, and Donna Haraway, eco-cultural scholars have begun to dispel the myth that nature exists outside of culture. Rather, nature is imbricated both materially and discursively in social politics and values, and vice versa. By combining cultural studies, global feminis…

Risking Bodies in the Wild: The “Corporeal Unconscious” of American Adventure Culture
At the heart of American adventure sports is the appeal of personal challenge that has roots in 19th-century 'wilderness cults.' Preserving wilderness and testing oneself against it were part of a search for moral, physical, and even national purity. But, as critics have begun to argue, racism, expansion, and exclusion underpin the wilderness movement. Although these exclusions have been identified, there has been less attention to these exclusio…
