Reimagining Urban Nature

Abstract

Established in 1906, The English Association is the oldest established association in the UK for all those interested in English at all levels, from primary to higher education. Its aim is to further knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the English language and its literatures and to foster good practice in its teaching and learning at all levels. In 2006, the English Association launched a new series -English Association Monographs, which is now published by Liverpool University Press.English Association Monographs invites submissions that explore or represent English Studies at the interface with other languages, cultures, professions and disciplines from the medieval period to the present day. It also welcomes submissions that reflect on or contribute to interdisciplinary conversations, or which are the product of thinking across disciplines or across sectors, or which explore the intersections between English Studies, Digital Humanities, and the new technologies of any period. The General Editors and the Editorial Board will work with authors to produce books that are written clearly and eloquently, and represent the best and most exciting new work in English Language and Literature.

Violence: comoditización corporal y resistencia en la novela de Festus Iyayi

“…La definición de Schliephake es de vital importancia para este trabajo, ya que destaca la potencial función de las literaturas urbanas de (re)imaginar las interrelaciones entre lo humano y lo no humano, así como la importancia de analizarlas a través de la lente de las humanidades ambientales. Sin embargo, como explica Chantelle Bayes (2023), aún hay mucho por hacer en cuanto a la naturaleza de las ciudades literarias y la relación entre estos paisajes urbanos ficticios y diversas cuestiones socioambientales. Expandiendo las ideas de Schliephake acerca de la importancia de los artefactos culturales para los estudios ecológicos urbanos, Bayes Mukherjee (2010: 72) examina la relación entre medioambiente y representación, esta vez partiendo de la "teoría estética y filosófica anti-mimética o «no-representacional»" proveniente del campo de la geografía cultural, que destaca "la capacidad transformativa de la materia y el lenguaje".…”
