Grasping extinction
This article examines depictions of natural history museums in a selection of poems and essays drawn from Gillian Clarke’s Zoology (2017), Jane Robinson’s Journey to the Sleeping Whale (2018) and Kathleen Jamie’s Sightlines (2012). These texts present the museum as a place in which we confront extinction through conflicting emotions: a space of care and protection, built on acts of violence. My analysis explores how physical prehension, real or i…
Unruly Microcosms in Contemporary Eco-Fiction
This article theorizes the disruptive epistemic work performed by microcosms in recent eco-fiction. Contemporary fiction often explores large-scale ecological disruption through smaller organisms and environments, enabling readers to perceive the Earth through analogy, allegory and metaphor. Within and against this scale-free reading, I argue that the microcosm has become a fracturing trope that troubles relations between scales. Drawing on ficti…
Life, Re-Scaled

This chapter presents the volume’s investigation into artistic engagements with life sciences and biopolitical questions, in recent European and North American fiction, poetry, graphic novels and performance. It outlines the twenty-first-century’s emergent biological imagination as an interdiscursive phenomenon, nourished by the circulation of ideas and images between artistic work, popular science, and philosophy. In this cross-fertilizing proce…
Reluctant taxonomies

From the metaphor of natural selection in her social anatomies of the 1980s (The Radiant Way, A Natural Curiosity) to the central questions of nature and nurture, genetics and environment in more recent novels (The Peppered Moth, The Sea Lady and The Pure Gold Baby), biology plays a key part in Drabble’s portrayal of social and psycholog…
Science in contemporary British theatre
Drawing on examples from the past twenty years of British theatre performance, a conceptual approach to the analysis of scientific ideas and discourse in dramatic and post-dramatic theatre is outlined. The focus is on plays and theatre pieces inspired by the ideas, the discourse and the images of science, thereby considering it above all as a form of knowledge and enquiry (leaving aside plays that focus on the characters of great scientists, or l…
