From ecocriticism to extinction, and beyond: an interview with Graham Huggan

GRAHAM HUGGAN, LUCIO DE CAPITANI, AND SHAUL BASSI

Abstract

In this interview, Lucio De Capitani and Shaul Bassi invite literary/cultural studies scholar Graham Huggan to a reflection on the relationship between postcolonialism and ecocriticism; on the state of the art of environmental discourse in academia; on the genres of climate narratives; on language politics in the environmental humanities; and on the new developments in the field he is most interested in, which include, most notably and perhaps somehow surprisingly, the poetics and politics of extinction.

Keywords
