Ecocriticism extends its boundaries / 'I am not afraid to die': contemporary environmental crisis fiction and the post-theory era / Halfway-to-whole things: ecologies of writing and collaboration / 'Drawing closer': an ecocritical consideration of collaborative, cross-disciplinary practices of walking, writing, drawing and exhibiting / ARTlines: three walking artists in Iceland / Nature matters: notes on Ackroyd and Harvey, ecocriticism and praxis / The word among stones / Two familiar paths well-travelled / Aesthetics as ecology, or the question of the form of eco-art / Signs and sentiment in British wildlife art / Symphonic pastorals redux / Treaty obligations: science and art in Antarctica / On-site natural heritage interpretation: an ecocritical reading / A seamless image: the role of photomontage in the meaning-making of windfarm development / Peter Barry and William Welstead -- Louise Squire -- Philip Gross -- Harriet Tarlo and Judith Tucker -- Patti Lean -- Eve Ropek -- Peter Barry -- John Darwell -- Clive Cazeaux -- William Welstead -- Aaron S. Allen -- Mike Pearson -- William Welstead -- Jean Welstead.
This book takes ecocriticism into new areas that include collaboration across the environmental humanities and into the cultural studies of the human response to the environment. The essays, by both early career and established researchers, are accessible enough to appeal to the general reader, but will be important supplementary reading for undergraduate and post-graduate students in the environmental humanities. This volume of essays explores the scope for a further extension of ecocriticism across the environmental humanities. Contributors, who include both established academics and early career researchers in the humanities, were given free rein to interpret the brief. The collection is unusual in that it considers collaboration between individuals both in the same discipline and across creative disciplines. Subjects include familiar environments close to home and those such as Iceland and Antarctica, where narratives of climate, geology and ecology provide a stark backdrop to creative output. A further innovation is the inclusion of essays on public art, natural heritage interpretation and the visualisation and aesthetic impact of wind farms. The book will be of interest to writers, artists, students and researchers in the environmental humanities and those with a general interest in the cultural response to the environment.
