Description
Given the pressing and global ecological concerns of the present time, it would be surprising if righting the earth had not brought into being new forms of critical writing. Yet in attempting to address these issues, ecocriticism has remained relatively marginal in cultural studies. This special issue of new formations on 'Earthographies: ecocriticism and culture' looks at some of the possible reasons for its marginalisation, while also bringing together a selection of essays which demonstrate the range of contemporary ecocritical thought in challenging a variety of political and theoretical neo-liberal doctrines. Ecocritical work does not simply focus upon nature (as though nature and culture, environment and individual could seriously be thought about separately), but is immersed in both the human and the more-than-human world.
