Free Download Francesca Bratton, "Charlotte Mew: Poetics, Bodies, Ecologies "
English | ISBN: 3031625412 | 2024 | 297 pages | EPUB | 7 MB
This collection of essays explores the life and works of the British poet and author of short stories Charlotte Mew (1869-1928). It represents the first volume dedicated solely to critical engagement with the full range of Mew’s poetry, fiction and essays. Mew moved within a remarkable range of literary and intellectual circles, from The Yellow Book in the 1890s to Bloomsbury’s Poetry Bookshop in the 1910s. As such, her work challenges traditional distinctions between literary periods and sits within the more expansive framework of the long nineteenth century and its legacies. Each chapter contextualises Mew’s oeuvre by examining her experiments with poetic and narrative genres in relation to her wider late Victorian and early modernist intellectual milieu. The volume draws together literary scholars working across the fields of poetry and poetics, decadence, modernism, ecocriticism and queer theory, while illustrating the particular stylistic and thematic complexities of Mew’s writing.

Free Download The Three Ecologies By Felix Guattari, Ian Pindar, Paul Sutton
2014 | 152 Pages | ISBN: 1472523814 | PDF | 8 MB
Extending the definition of ecology to encompass social relations and human subjectivity as well as environmental concerns, The Three Ecologies argues that the ecological crises that threaten our planet are the direct result of the expansion of a new form of capitalism and that a new ecosophical approach must be found which respects the differences between all living systems. A powerful critique of capitalism and a manifesto for a new way of thinking, the book is also an ideal introduction to the work of one of Europe’s most radical thinkers.This edition includes a chronology of Guattari’s life and work, introductions to both his general philosophy and to the work itself, and extended notes to the original text.

Free Download Li Guo, "Ecologies of Translation in East and South East Asia, 1600-1900"
English | ISBN: 9463729550 | 2022 | 326 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This ground-breaking volume on early modern inter-Asian translation examines how translation from plain Chinese was situated at the nexus between, on the one hand, the traditional standard of biliteracy characteristic of literary practices in the Sinographic sphere, and on the other, practices of translational multilingualism (competence in multiple spoken languages to produce a fully localized target text). Translations from plain Chinese are shown to carve out new ecologies of translations that not only enrich our understanding of early modern translation practices across the Sinographic sphere, but also demonstrate that the transregional uses of a non-alphabetic graphic technology call for different models of translation theory.

English | ISBN: 1032230118 | 2023 | 190 pages | EPUB, PDF | 805 KB + 8 MB
This book synthesizes ecofeminist theory, American studies, and postcolonial theory to interrogate what New Americanist William V.

Free Download Chitra Sankaran, "Women, Subalterns, and Ecologies in South and Southeast Asian Women’s Fiction"
English | ISBN: 0820360872 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 10 MB
In recent decades, East Asia has gained prominence and has become synonymous with Asia, while other Asian regions, such as South and Southeast Asia, have been subsumed under it. The resultant overgeneralization has meant that significant aspects of the global ecological crisis as they affect these two regions have been overlooked. Chitra Sankaran refocuses the global lens on these two rapidly developing regions of Asia. Combining South Asian and Southeast Asian philosophical views and folk perspectives with mainstream ecocritical and ecofeminist theories, she generates a localized critical idiom that qualifies and subverts some established theoretical assumptions.

Free Download Zhou Xiaojing, "Migrant Ecologies: Zheng Xiaoqiong’s Women Migrant Workers "
English | ISBN: 1498580637 | 2021 | 152 pages | EPUB, PDF | 16 MB + 9 MB
Migrant Ecologies investigates the ways in which Zheng Xiaoqiong’s poetry exposes the entanglements of migrant ecologies embedded within local and global networks of capital and labor. The author contends that women migrant workers in particular, as portrayed in Zheng’s poems, are the visible manifestation of the interconnections between the so-called "factories of the world" and slum villages-in-the-city, between urban development and rural decline, and between the local environmental degradation and the global market. By adopting an ecological approach to Zheng’s poems about women migrant workers in China, the author explores what Donna Haraway calls "webbed ecologies" (49). The concept of "ecologies" serves to enhance not only the layered, complex interconnections underlying women migrant workers’ plight and environmental degradation in China, but also the emergence and transformation of migrant spaces, subjects, activism, and networks resulting in part from globalization.
