Los ensayos han sido distribuidos en tres secciones. El material de la primera ofrece lo que normalmente entendemos como una forma reconocible de presentar el origen y desarrollo de la narrativa contemporánea en el Perú. Se trata, en gran medida, de asuntos, géneros, obras y autores a partir de los cuales se ha definido el canon de esta narrativa a lo largo de las décadas de 1920 y 1970. La segunda sección propone visiones alternativas: presenta cuatro estudios que retan la integridad de una narrativa pensada dentro de las coordenadas del cauce central. Evidencian la insuficiencia de esa perspectiva al hacer visible una vasta producción que plantea cuestiones y problemas fundamentales, tanto en lo referente a los ámbitos de la representación como a las formas de la experiencia y la imaginación s...

The purpose of the study is first, to explore the textual representation of Amerindian ecology as a type of cultural difference, and second, to uncover the link between said representation and the textual construction of the European traveler writer as a modern subject. The main argument is that the colonial discourse of the sixteenth century travel narrative to the Caribbean features an ecological difference that is constitutive of European modern subjectivity within the text. Ecological difference is seen as the textual representation and production of cultural difference articulated in ecological terms or those that refer to the human/nature relation. Following Jean Joseph Goux"s critique of the Freudian-Lacanian model for the process of the construction of modern subjectivity, subjectivization i...

Articulating the significance of humanistic perspectives for our collective social engagement with ecological crises, the volume explores the potential of the environmental humanities for organizing humanistic research, opening up new forms of interdisciplinarity, and shaping public debate and policies on environmental issues.
Sections cover:
•The Anthropocene and the Domestication of Earth •Posthumanism and Multispecies Communities •Inequality and Environmental Justice •Decline and Resilience: Environmental Narratives, History, and Memory •Environmental Arts, Media, and Technologies •The State of the Environmental Humanities
The first of its kind, this companion covers essential issues and themes, necessarily crossing disciplines within the humanities and with the social and natural sciences. Exploring how the environmental humanities contribute to policy and action concerning some of the key intellectual, social, and environmental challenges of our times, the chapters offer an ideal guide to this rapidly developing field.
Global Ecologies and the Environmental Humanities: Postcolonial Approaches, 2015
This book examines current trends in scholarly thinking about the new field of the Environmental ... more This book examines current trends in scholarly thinking about the new field of the Environmental Humanities, focusing in particular on how the history of globalization and imperialism represents a special challenge to approaches to environmental issues. Essays in this path-breaking collection examine the role narrative can play in drawing attention to and shaping our ideas about long-term environmental problems such as climate change, militarism, deforestation, toxicity, and agricultural resource management. The volume explores implications for defining a postcolonial approach to the environmental humanities, especially in conjunction with current thinking in areas such as political ecology and environmental justice. Spanning regions such as Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific Islands, essays by founding figures in the field as well as new scholars expand the geographical and historical contours of ecocriticism by examining how writers have imagined the environment, providing vital new perspectives on how ecological change can be traced to globalization and a history of colonialism. It moves beyond literary studies to a more interdisciplinary discussion of the importance of narrative to our understanding of environmental concerns. At the heart of this is a conviction that a thoroughly global, postcolonial, and comparative approach is essential to defining the emergent field of the environmental humanities, and that this field has much to offer in understanding critical issues surrounding the creation of alternative ecological futures.
