“Make the Place Feel like Home Again”
This article examines Tim Winton’s Shallows as a novel of unsettled dwelling, arguing that its representations of domestic, coastal and shell-like spaces articulate a specifically settler-colonial form of existential angst. While Shallows has often been read through ecocritical frameworks that emphasise environmental activism, whaling and ecological ethics, this article shifts attention to the spatial and affective dimensions of home, intimacy an…
The Apocalyptic Voice of Nature
This study analyzes the depiction of environmental catastrophes and social response as humanity confronts consequences of human induced climate change climate change in Strieber’s The Day After Tomorrow (2004).

Pre-9/11 Islamophobia
Don DeLillo’s Falling Man reproduces the same Orientalist mantra of the Muslim terrorist. Although he is much celebrated for writing thrilling terrorism and assassination novels long before the 9/11 event, many critics situated his Falling Man within the 9/11 neo-Orientalist framework. This study argues that the 9/11 occurrence (while acknowledging its significance) is not the only trigger behind DeLillo’s representation of Muslims in his novel. …
An Ecofeminist and Taoist Reading of Louise Glück’s A Village Life
Born and bred in the Western lands in the context of ecological crisis and feminist movement in the 1970s, ecofeminism views men’s rule over women and human’s rule over nature as two aspects of the same issue, and believes that there is an inherent connection between them. By criticizing the oppressive status of women and nature, and eliminating the dualism rooted in western patriarchy, ecofeminism aims to promote equality and harmony among all t…
‘Fear, good servants, bad lords’
Ursula K. Le Guin’s renowned novel The Left Hand of Darkness offers a profound exploration of the multifaceted fears of the other through its futuristic setting and imaginative narrative. Building on Simon C. Estok’s argument that various forms of fear like misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia and ecophobia are inherently linked, originating from ‘maladaptive, reflexive, and somewhat unconscious condition that is based in affect’, this study …
(Un)reading Orientalism in Sherry Jones’ The Jewel of Medina
Oriental representations of Muslims are often manifested in a society's media, literature, theatre and other creative means of expression. However, these representations, which are often historically and conceptually one-sided, have adverse repercussions for Muslims today, potentially leading to Islamophobia. Orientalism of Muslims in Western writings and discourses have been much discussed, debated and disproved, yet some works of literature con…
Rethinking Orientalism of Muslims in Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel
Edward Said’s Orientalism questions the Western representation of the Eastern ‘other’, especially the Arab Muslims. A misrepresentation that has always treated the orient with inferiority; as barbaric and backward compared to the refined, reasoning and advanced Occident. This form of representation is what Ayaan Hirsi Ali embarked on in her bestselling memoir Infidel (2007). It chronicles her geographical journey from Somalia to Saudi Arabia, Eth…
