Introduction: Enchanted Environments
Earth: The Final Frontier
Ties that bind: International studies in ecocriticism
As they say, there is nothing quite so quintessentially British as a cup of tea. The murky substance inhabits our daily lives, our social interactions, and our culture. A strong cup of tea is inherent in narratives of British identity. Yet tea is a product of colonial exploits and capitalist systems rooted in patterns of social and environmental injustice. By exposing the edible matter of tea as a global commodity it becomes imbued with meaning, …

Biggish data: Friedrich Engels, material ecology, and Victorian data
Through Friedrich Engels’ The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845), this article examines two prominent themes in environmental humanities – vital ecological materialism and ‘big data’. Engels’ vivid descriptions of factories, houses, and environment shared the central tenets of ‘material ecology’ – ‘thing power’ (Jane Bennett); ‘intra-actions’ of social and material agency (Karen Barad); ‘trans-corporeality’ (Stacy Alaimo) – and met …
Literature and Sustainability: Concept, Text and Culture
The Environmental Tradition in English Literature
Drawing upon the English literary tradition for new perspectives and paradigms, this collection presents a broad range of theoretical and historical approaches to ecocriticism. The first section of the volume offers different theoretical frameworks for ecocritical work, encompassing a range of socio-political, post-modern and multi-disciplinary approaches. In the second section, contributors explore the ways in which ecocriticism allows us to re-…
Victorian Sustainability in Literature and Culture
This chapter examines the development of the concept of the 'Stationary State' in published work, correspondence and practical activism. It considers how John Stuart Mill refined his ideas of it, how that thinking coincides with a trajectory set out by Ulrich Grober and, consequently, how Mill's reflections and elaborations on the 'Stationary State' speak to a growing preoccupation with sustainability in the environmental humanities, social scien…

Stranded Out of Place: Environmental Alienation in Australian Punk
Working within ‘environmental justice ecocriticism’, this paper explores and compares British and Australian punk and new wave arguing that the environment comprises one way in which a socially disadvantaged urban poor register an experience of injustice and alienation. The paper connects cultural studies of place/environment in popular music with ecocritical arguments that stress the centrality of place to identity and the importance of sound, o…

Green Man Hopkins: Poetry and the Victorian Ecological Imagination
This book, the first to consider Gerard Manley Hopkins as an ecological writer, explores the dimension that social ecology offers to an ecocriticism hitherto dominated by romantic nature writing. The case for a 'green Hopkins' is made through a paradigm of 'Victorian Ecology' that expands the scope of existing studies in Victorian literature and science. Parham argues that Hopkins developed a two-fold understanding of ecology – as a scientific ph…

Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, resulting in massive destruction from wind damage and storm surge. In Mississippi, the storm surge was an estimated 27 feet high at the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center and extended inland for 6-12 miles, causing extensive flooding in Biloxi and Gulfport and rendering approximately 80% of buildings in Waveland uninhabitable (1). The devastation was greatest in th…

Teaching pleasure: Experiments in cultural studies and pedagogy
This article evaluates pedagogical debates on reconciling critical cultural studies with the increasingly vocational demands of students. The approach is experiential and describes teaching `popular pleasure' at the University of East London, UK. Highlighting a reflexive approach whereby students questioned the partialities of cultural studies in light of their own experience and pleasures, the article draws on student assignments to reach two fi…
