Place, Planetarity, and the More-Than-Human: Geo-Centered Ecologies in the Selected Fiction of Amitav Ghosh
What if the climate crisis is not merely about rising temperatures, but about forgotten histories of colonial violence, extraction, and ecological erasure? This masterclass addresses this significant question through Amitav Ghosh’s The Nutmeg’s Curse and Ghost-Eye. While these texts serve as important points of departure, the discussions move beyond literary analysis to re-engage with the theoretical interventions of Dipesh Chakrabarty, Donna Haraway, Jane Bennett, and Rob Nixon to rethink the climate crisis, non-human agency, slow violence, and planetary justice.
