| Summary: | What can Italy teach us about our relationships with the nonhuman world in the current socio-environmental crisis? 'Italy and the Ecological Imagination: Ecocritical Theories and Practices' focuses on how Italian writers, activists, visual artists and philosophers engage with real and fictional environments and how their engagements reflect, critique and animate the approach that Italian culture has had toward the physical environment and its ecology since late antiquity. Through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, the essays collected in this volume explore topics including climate change, environmental justice, animal ethics and socioenvironmental degradation to provide a cogent analysis of how Italian ecological narratives fit within the current transnational debate occurring in the environmental humanities. |
