Offers new ways to analyze language and reality, human and nonhuman life, mind and matter, without falling into well-worn paths of thinking. Bringing ecocriticism closer to the material turn, this volume focuses on material forces and substances, the agency of things, processes, narratives and stories, and making meaning out of the world.
