The "Environmental Uncanny": Unsettling the Multispecies Encounter in Contemporary Environmental Poetry

无论是在文学作品中还是在文学作品之外，与非人类生命的接触往往都是通过一系列假设来构建的，排除了许多形式的生命，尽管这些生命是必不可少的，从细菌到植物。以Amitav Ghosh的“环境神秘”概念为跳板，我将研究一系列当代诗歌如何通过使用神秘的元素来破坏这些期望，从Christian Bök到dg nanouk okpik。我将从黑暗生态学和多物种研究的角度来深入研究神秘的生态纠缠。我的博士学位将探索那些使我们对非人类生命的假设成为问题的文本，回应脊椎动物的多样性，昆虫群落的多样性，以及植物生命的无面性。然后，我将转向寄生虫和细菌令人不安的亲密关系，然后再研究纠缠在一起的生态系统，如果我们面对我们在社会和生态危害网络中的角色，它可以提供一条通往希望的道路。

Both within and outside literature, encounters with other-than-human life are often framed through aseries of assumptions, excluding many forms of life that are nonetheless essential, from bacteria to plantlife. Using Amitav Ghosh's concept of the "environmental uncanny" as a springboard, I will examine howa range of contemporary poetry approaches neglected organisms by using elements of the uncanny todisrupt these expectations, from Christian Bök to dg nanouk okpik. I will employ perspectives from darkecology and multispecies studies to delve into uncanny ecological entanglements. My PhD will exploretexts which problematise our assumptions about nonhuman life, responding to the alterity ofinvertebrates, the plurality of insect communities, and the facelessness of plant life. I will then turntowards the uncomfortable intimacies of parasites and bacteria, before examining entangled ecosystemsthat can offer a path to hope, if we confront our role within webs of social and ecological harm.
