Social Reproduction Feminism and World-Culture: Introduction
Over twenty years ago, Amrita Basu, Inderpal Grewal, Caren Kaplan and Liisa Malkki argued that ‘capitalism depended on sexism in order to be global’ (2001: 943). This special issue revisits and updates that claim by combining the critical lenses of social reproduction feminism, world-systems and world-ecology. As Basu et al. rightly observed, ‘[p]utting gender at the very center of considerations of globalization enables us to understand globaliz…
Social reproduction, struggle and the ecology of 'women's work' in world-literature
Building on the insights of feminist scholars such as Maria Mies, Wilma Dunaway and Harriet Friedmann that 'women's work' in the realm of social reproduction, particularly in the (semi-)peripheries of the world-ecology, often draws heavily upon natural resources and is thus preponderantly affected by forms of resource depletion and environmental crisis including water scarcity, land degradation, pollution and toxification, this article argues for…

“The Future Is Behind Them!”: Post-Apocalypse and the Enduring Nuclear in Post-Soviet Russian Fiction
“This oil thing touches everything”: World-Literary Crime Fiction and Fossil Capital
Graeme Macdonald a montré que, si toute la littérature-monde peut se lire comme « une littérature du système-monde capitaliste », elle peut également se lire comme une « pétro-littérature », tant « le pétrole et ses constituants sont omniprésents dans la matière même de la vie moderne et dans la façon dont celle-ci s’organise ». Partant de ce constat, cet article entreprend de lire la littérature policière non seulement sous l’angle de la littéra…
“The One Who Comes from the Sea”: Marine Crisis and the New Oceanic Weird in Rita Indiana’s La mucama de Omicunlé (2015)
Caribbean literature is permeated by submarine aesthetics registering the environmental histories of colonialism and capitalism. In this essay, we contribute to the emergent discipline of critical ocean studies by delineating the contours of the “Oceanic Weird”. We begin with a brief survey of Old Weird tales by authors such as William Hope Hodgson and, most famously, H.P. Lovecraft, who were writing in the context of a world still dominated by E…

Water shocks: Neoliberal hydrofiction and the crisis of “cheap water
This essay examines world-literary representations of neoliberal hydroculture, exploring the crisis of “cheap water.” I investigate how water functions in hydrofiction as a thematic element, but also as representation and symbolic regime, product and producer of the socio-ecological relations stabilizing the neoliberal organization of water. I begin with an analysis of Latin American and Chinese hydrofictions which anticipate intensified enclosur…
Cacao and cascadura: Energetic consumption and production in world-ecological literature
This article compares literary mediations of the world-historical movement of cacao frontiers across the American hemisphere, and contrasts the imagination of food as resource and resistance in literature from Pablo Antonio Cuadra in Nicaragua, Samuel Selvon in Trinidad, Jorge Amado in Brazil and Merle Collins in Grenada. Cacao is considered both in terms of the energy required for its production, and as a high-calorie source of energetic consump…
World-Ecology and Ireland: The Neoliberal Ecological Regime
Since the collapse of the Celtic Tiger, the socio-economic particularity of neoliberal capitalism in its Irish manifestation has increasingly been critiqued, but little attention has been paid to neoliberalism as ecology within Ireland. This article conducts an exploratory survey of the characteristics of the Irish neoliberal ecological regime during and after the Celtic Tiger, identifying the opening of new commodity frontiers (such as fracking,…

Ireland in the World-System: An Interview with Denis O'Hearn
In this interview, Denis O’Hearn presents his views of Ireland’s historical and contemporary status in the capitalist world-system and which countries Ireland could be profitably compared with. He discusses how Ireland has changed since the publication of his well-known work on "The Atlantic Economy" (2001) and addresses questions related to the European Union and the looming break-up of Britain as well as contemporary Irish politics on both side…
‘Could it be everywhere?’: Lindsey Collen and Literary Mutiny in the Indian Ocean
Throughout Lindsey Collen's Mutiny (2011) mutiny functions as an intertextual, transhistorical metaphorics that links the prison breakout and general strike movement in Mauritius described in the novel's plot together with wider geographical contexts of shipboard mutiny, colonial insurgency, prison insurrections, labour unrest, and socialist revolution against neocolonial conditions throughout the Indian Ocean. In the preface, Collen claims her n…
Nothing is truly hidden: Visibility, aesthetics and Yasmina Khadra's detective fiction
This article examines the politics and form of Yasmina Khadra’s use of the detective genre to reveal invisible social conditions. I argue that the problem of visibility operates on multiple levels in Khadra’s crime fiction: firstly, at the level of genre, where the investigative impulse of the police detective novel is used to map the uneven socio-economic relations of the petro-state intensified by neo-liberalization; secondly, in catachrestic t…
