Material Textualities: Literature between Collecting and Hoarding

In light of an urgent ecological demand for attentiveness to the non-human; outcomes. this proposal stresses the importance of the literary medium in addressing eco-critical questions. In essence, this project explores the interdependency of human and non-human entities through literary-material desires: collecting, hoarding, and discarding. My research thus asks how we can read literature under the distinct material configurations of collecting and hoarding, and how eco-material concepts like waste, reusing and recycling can be applied to literary analysis.
