More Description

This book visits the intersections between Ecocriticism and Indigenous and Native American Studies, and between academic theory and pragmatic eco-activism conducted by multiethnic and indigenous communities. It illuminates how artistic expressions render ecological connections, drawing on scholars working with Indigenous artistsin film, literature, performance, and other forms of multimedia. It engages with environmental concepts such as multispecies ethnography, cosmopolitics, and trans-indigeneity, and with new areas of ecocritical research such as material ecocriticism, biosemiotics, and media studies, offering new directions for ecocritical thought and environmental humanities practice.
