Suhasini Vincent, Earth Polyphony: Law, Ecocriticism, and Eco-activism in Postcolonial India

Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, Lexington Books, 2024, 320p.
ISBN: 978-1-66695-156-1

Voici un extrait de la 4ème de couverture :

In Earth Polyphony, Suhasini Vincent analyses the theory of ecocriticism in its entirety, and its existence in the global paradigm of climate change. Vincent reveals how a polyphony of voices can affect law and decision making in the era of the Anthropocene, and aptly shows how voices can coexist as in Bakhtinian polyphony where multiple perspectives coexist despite contradictions and differences. 

Vincent argues that both material and non-material worlds are endowed with storied forms of knowledge that prompt ecocritical writers to engage in new experimental modes of expression. She explores the ‘material turn’, the ‘animal turn’ and the ‘narrative turn’ to highlight how law meets literature, prompts eco-activism, and how these crisscrossing narratives influence each other to spark judicial activism in forums around the planet.
