Beskrivning
Critical Plant Studies in Taiwan presents a historical overview of vegetal ecocriticism in Taiwan. Divided into 12 chapters, it examines the human-plant entanglements on the island. Covering a wide spectrum of topics, such as the imperial plant explorations, the military casuarina afforestation, the mangrove conservation movement, the ecofeminist rooftop garden, the Indigenous millet restoration, the underground mycorrhizal network in urban Taipei, etc., it discloses the phyto-politics in the historical context of the vegetal materialist condition of the island. Intersecting the poetics and politics of plant narratives, it presents the multispecies plantscapes of the island. The first of its kind, the collection launches the historical and localized critical plant studies in Taiwan.

Recensioner i media

This timely collection demonstrates the blossoming of critical plant studies in Taiwan, an island of distinctive botanical diversity. Through phytocritical readings of diverse literary and cultural materials, contributors call attention to a range of absorbing topics—from plantation histories and tea poetry to rooftop gardens and millet cultivation—as well as a variety of urban, rural, and wild vegetal agents. Reflecting the multidimensionality of human-flora relations in Taiwan, this landmark publication is the first of its kind to foreground the emergence of the field within a specific cultural context.
