Availability:In StockContributor:Kwai-Cheung Lo, Hung-Chiung LiSeries:African and Asian Anthropocene: Studies in the Environmental HumanitiesTheme:Cultural Region/Asian, Cultural Region/Middle Eastern, Topical/EcologyPublish date:2/27/2025Pages:206
This volume, edited by Kwai-Cheung Lo and Hung-chiung Li, explores the notion of entangled waterscape to reflect beyond the traditional continental perspectives. It understands Asia and beyond through the multifaceted interplay of history, economics, politics, culture, and ecological concerns.
The conceptualization of waterscape echoes contemporary geopolitical tensions, economic interdependencies, military strategies, and historical-cultural dynamics, offering fresh viewpoints on rethinking cultural politics and engaging with Anthropocene concerns and ecological imperatives. The volume reverberates with the discourses of the Global South, complicating prevailing worldviews and ideological underpinnings, and thereby prompts a re-evaluation of the concept of "Asia."
