Stephanie Posthumus\u0026amp;#x2019;s ground-breaking work brings together thinkers such as Guattari, Latour, and Serres with recent ecocritical theories to complicate what might otherwise become a reductive notion of \"French ecocriticism.\" Working across contemporary philosophy and literature, the book defines the concept of the ecological as an attentiveness to specific nature-culture contexts and to a text\u0026amp;#x2019;s many interdiscursive connections. Posthumus identifies four key concepts, ecological subjectivity, ecological dwelling, ecological politics, and ecological ends, for changing how we think about human-nature relations. \u003ci\u003eFrench Écocritique \u003c\/i\u003ehighlights the importance of moving beyond canonical ecocritical texts and examining a diversity of cultural and literary traditions for new ways of imagining the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION - Ecological Readings\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER ONE - Ecological Subjectivity: Guattari and Darrieussecq\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER TWO - Ecological Dwelling: Serres and Lafon \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER THREE - Ecological Politics: Latour and Rufin\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER FOUR - Ecological Ends: Schaeffer and Houellebecq\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCONCLUSION - Further Ecological Readings\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595449528600,"sku":"9781487501457","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/french-ecocritique-reading-contemporary-french-theory-and-fiction-ecologically-hardback-9781487501457","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
