Eco-Concepts: Critical Reflections in Emerging Ecocritical Theory and Ecological Thought offers an intellectual journey through the ever-evolving landscapes of environmental discourse. This thought-provoking volume convenes eminent contributors from international scholarship to scrutinize and illuminate the contemporary trends reshaping our understanding of the natural environment. From the intricate interplay of rising ecocritical theories like Restoration and Empirical ecocriticism to the nuanced shifts in the reimagining of ecological concepts, the book unravels the complexities of our relationship with the natural sphere. Eco-Concepts delves into the forefront of ecological thought by traversing disciplinary boundaries such as Blue Humanities, Critical Plant Studies, and Gandhian Ecosophy. This scholarly collection serves as a compass, guiding readers through the uncharted territories of environmental scholarship or revisits the existing ones through fresh critical perspectives. As global challenges demand innovative solutions, this book offers critical reflections into pressing concepts such as ecocide, petroculture and dark ecology that inspire a deeper, more nuanced engagement with ecological issues. Eco-Concepts strives to become an essential source of reference for academics, students, and individuals seeking an in-depth exploration of the innovative notions influencing the trajectory of discussions on ecology.
