Only recently, however, have they begun to draw on the complex interdisciplinary body of research known as affect theory. \u003ci\u003eAffective Ecocriticism\u003c\/i\u003e takes as its premise that ecocritical scholarship has much to gain from the rich work on affect and emotion happening within social and cultural theory, geography, psychology, philosophy, queer theory, feminist theory, narratology, and neuroscience, among others. This vibrant and important volume imagines a more affective--and consequently more effective--ecocriticism, as well as a more environmentally attuned affect studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These interdisciplinary essays model a range of approaches to emotion and affect in considering a variety of primary texts, including short story collections, films, poetry, curricular programs, and contentious geopolitical locales such as Canada's Tar Sands. Several chapters deal skeptically with familiar environmentalist affects like love, hope, resilience, and optimism; others consider what are often understood as negative emotions, such as anxiety, disappointment, and homesickness--all with an eye toward reinvigorating or reconsidering their utility for the environmental humanities and environmentalism. \u003ci\u003eAffective Ecocriticism\u003c\/i\u003e offers an accessible approach to this theoretical intersection that will speak to readers across multiple disciplinary and geographic locations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Bladow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496207562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKyle Bladow \u003c\/b\u003eis an assistant professor of Native American studies at Northland College. \u003cb\u003eJennifer Ladino\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of English at the University of Idaho.
