It represents the first sustained analysis of the connection between colonial legacy and present-day ecological catastrophe in postcolonial fiction. Analyzing contemporary South Asian and South Pacific novels that grapple with climate change and catastrophe, environmental exploitation and instability, and human-nonhuman relationships in degraded environments, it offers a much-needed corrective to dominant narratives about climate, crisis, and the everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighting the contributions of literary fiction from the postcolonial South to the growing field of the environmental humanities, this book reconsiders the novel\u2019s relationship with climate change and the contemporary environmental imaginary. Counter to dominant current theoretical discourses, it demonstrates that the novel form is ideally suited to literary and imaginative engagements with climate change and ecological catastrophe. The six case studies it examines connect contemporary ecological vulnerability to colonial legacies, reveal the critical role animals and the environment play in literary imaginations of post-catastrophe recovery, and together constellate a decolonial perspective on ecological catastrophe in the era of climate change. Drawing on the work of Indigenous authors and scholars who write about and against the Anthropocene, this book displaces conventional ways of thinking about the relationship between the mundane and the catastrophic and promotes greater dialogue between the largely siloed fields of postcolonial, Indigenous, and disaster studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justyna Poray-Wybranowska, an early career researcher in postcolonial studies and environmental humanities, discussed her book\u00a0Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel\u00a0in the Greenhouse [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2021-04-26-Poray-Wybranowska.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2021-04-26-Poray-Wybranowska_pod.jpg","cover_image_id":"2244","duration":"54:59","filesize":"39.41M","filesize_raw":"41319360","date_recorded":"2021-04-26","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2242","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2021-04-26-Poray-Wybranowska_pod.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2242\/justyna-poray-wybranowska-climate-change-ecological-catastrophe-and-the-contemporary-postcolonial-novel","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2242\/justyna-poray-wybranowska-climate-change-ecological-catastrophe-and-the-contemporary-postcolonial-novel","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2242\/justyna-poray-wybranowska-climate-change-ecological-catastrophe-and-the-contemporary-postcolonial-novel\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2242\/justyna-poray-wybranowska-climate-change-ecological-catastrophe-and-the-contemporary-postcolonial-novel<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ujk4C6T2ZO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/justyna-poray-wybranowska-climate-change-ecological-catastrophe-and-the-contemporary-postcolonial-novel\/\">Justyna Poray-Wybranowska &#8211; Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/justyna-poray-wybranowska-climate-change-ecological-catastrophe-and-the-contemporary-postcolonial-novel\/embed\/#?secret=ujk4C6T2ZO\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Justyna Poray-Wybranowska &#8211; Climate Change, Ecological Catastrophe, and the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"ujk4C6T2ZO\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
