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.

无论是在文学内部还是外部，与人类以外的生命的遭遇常常是通过一系列假设来构建的，排除了从细菌到植物等许多仍然重要的生命形式。以阿米塔夫·戈什（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元素来破坏这些期望来接近被忽视的有机体，从克里斯蒂安·博克（Christian Bök）到dg nanouk okpik。我将利用黑暗生态学和多物种研究的视角来深入研究不可思议的生态纠葛。我的博士学位将探索对我们对非人类生命的假设提出问题的文本，回应无脊椎动物的差异性、昆虫群落的多样性和植物生命的不露面性。然后，我将转向寄生虫和细菌令人不舒服的亲密关系，然后再研究错综复杂的生态系统，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。
