Call for Book Chapters: Ecocritical Perspectives on Literature and Other Media

EDUCATION
Due Date: 15/05/2025
This call for papers seeks contributions examining the relationship between narratives and ecological issues, focusing on the ways storytelling addresses ecological challenges. Narratives – whether literary, cinematic, or multimodal – have the potential to critique environmental exploitation, envision sustainable futures, and explore human and non-human interconnections. The intersection of ecocriticism and storytelling offers fertile ground for discussions about the role of culture in shaping ecological consciousness and practices.

We invite contributions that critically engage with the concept of ecology and storytelling, exploring the cultural, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions in the topics, including, but not limited to, 

 

  1. Ecocriticism, Ecofeminism
  2. Ecological narratives
  3. Sustainability narratives
  4. Climate Crisis & Climate fiction
