FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An exploration of how writers, artists, and filmmakers expose the costs and contest the assumptions of the Capitalocene era that guides readers through the rapidly developing field of Spanish environmental cultural studies.From the scars left by Francos dams and mines to the toxic waste dumped in Equatorial Guinea, from the cruelty of the modern pork industry to the ravages of mass tourism in the Balearic Islands, this book delves into the power relations, material practices and social imaginaries underpinning the global economic system to uncover its unaffordable human and non-human costs. Guiding the reader through the rapidly emerging field of Spanish environmental cultural studies, with chapters on such topics as extractivism, animal studies, food studies, ecofeminism, decoloniality, critical race studies, tourism, and waste studies, an international team of US and European scholars show how Spanish writers, artists, and filmmakers have illuminated and contested the growth-oriented and neo-colonialist assumptions of the current Capitalocene era. Focussed on Spain, the volume also provides models for exploring the socioecological implications of cultural manifestations in other parts of the world.CONTRIBUTORS: Eugenia Afinoguenova, Samuel Amago, Daniel Ares-Lopez, Kata Beilin, John Beusterien, Miguel Caballero Vazquez, Jorge Catala, Glen S.

It also shows how an ecological perspective can amplify our critiques, with frameworks like social metabolism, extractivism, ecofeminism, racialized ecologies, non-human agency and discard studies.
