9781478024729: At Home in Nature: Technology, Labor, and Critical Ecology in Modern China

Synopsis

In this special supplement edited by Ban Wang, an ecocritical lens is used to examine anthropocentrism, technoscientific hubris, and ecologically destructive modes of production in modern China. Analyzing modern discourse, literature, film, and science fiction, Wang asserts that the domination of nature and labor under capitalism and technocrats is the culprit of ecological crises and human alienation. Alternatively, Wang argues, utopianisms of nonalienated labor keep alive the ideals of resonance between humans and Earth.
