Excellent- More about Ecopoetics of Reenchantment: Liminal Realism and Poetic Echoes of the Earth
Ecopoetics of Reenchantment explores the reenchantment process in contemporary ecoliterature, focusing on the song of the earth topos and Gaia images. It theorizes liminal realism, a mode that shares similarities with magical realism but is approached through an ecopoetic lens. The book promotes a worldview based on relationships of reciprocity and symbiosis, restoring our capacity for wonder and sensitive intelligence. It adopts a stance in-between scientific, mythical, and poetic worldviews, highlighting the soundscapes, odorscapes, feelscapes, and landscapes of the world. It offers an original transdisciplinary and cross-Atlantic take on ecopoetics, sparking a conversation between artworks, theories, and studies from the English-speaking and Francophone contexts.

Ecopoetics of Reenchantment: Liminal Realism and Poetic Echoes of the Earth explores the reenchantment process in contemporary ecoliterature, focusing on the resurfacing of the song of the earth topos and Gaia images. It employs a postmodernist braiding of indigenous and ecofeminist ontologies, close readings of animistic and totemic dimensions, and an ecopoetic lens to theorize liminal realism. This mode shares similarities with magical realism but is approached through an interspecies kind of magic, situating readers in-between human and other-than-human worlds. The book promotes a worldview based on relationships of reciprocity and symbiosis, restoring our capacity for wonder and sensitive intelligence. Liminal realism adopts a stance in-between scientific, mythical, and poetic worldviews, calling attention to the soundscapes, odorscapes, feelscapes, and landscapes of the world. It offers an original transdisciplinary and cross-Atlantic take on ecopoetics, straddling the two academic worlds and sparking a conversation between artworks, theories, and studies emerging from the English-speaking world and Francophone contexts. By entangling the materiality of language back within the flesh of the world, the book and the texts under study provide insight into the fundamentally sympoietic dimension of ecopoiesis.
