Abstract:

This paper investigates how Lagoon critiques environmental neglect, employing speculative fiction to engage with pressing ecological issues. Through an ecocritical lens, it emphasizes the novel’s call for reimagining humanity’s relationship with nature, advocating for sustainable futures rooted in both cultural and ecological resilience. Nnedi Okorafor’s Lagoon stands out as a landmark in African speculative fiction, blending elements of science fiction with sharp ecological and socio-political commentary. Set in Lagos, Nigeria, the novel vividly depicts environmental degradation, symbolized b

This paper aims to study the current regulation and governance of wind energy turbines on the high seas and detect regulatory challenges. We focus on the existing regulatory framework to develop marine wind farms in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), the nature of wind farms and wind turbines in said areas, and which governance schemes and institutions ought to coordinate and regulate any future marine wind energy development. Our research shows that under public international law, the deployment of wind turbines on (most parts of) the high seas for all States is possible, but many iss

Abstract:

<i>The world's largest ecosystem is the ocean. 97.2% of Earth's total water is found in oceans. Global warming, which is increasing day by day due to the arrogance, and selfishness of man, does not only affect the human race; It also shortens the lifespan of animals; It also leads to the extinction of various species. It also underlies the impact on the marine environment. So, the sea resource decreases and the marine populations suffer. Novels and short stories point out these effects and tend to create awareness among people. This article is based on the two novels 'Selukedu' and 'Kadal Adi'

Abstract:

In the biogeographical and taxonomical literature before the 1980s there was a wide perception that widespread, often referred to as ‘cosmopolitan’, species were very common among polychaetes. Here we discuss the origins of this perception, how it became challenged, and our current understanding of marine annelid distributions today. We comment on the presence of widely distributed species in the deep sea and on artificially extended ranges of invasive species that have been dispersed by anthropogenic means. We also suggest the measures needed to revolve the status of species with reported cos

Including the first report of a human fatality from a Conus sting nearly 350 years ago, at least 141 human envenomations have been recorded, of which 36 were fatal.

Contemporary Chinese science fiction (SF) is preoccupied with the representation of the Anthropocene. Wu Ming-yi’s The Man with the Compound Eyes (2011) and Hui Hu’s The Azure Tragedy (2018) are stand-out examples. In light of the framework of ecocriticism, it is found that both writers challenge long-seated anthropocentric thinking and practices in their catastrophic narration of human-induced plastic pollution in the marine environment, increased extinction of species by human overharvesting, and the human-induced general destruction of nature.

Supernatural fiction invites the reader to a world of mystery and imagination raising questions and sometimes doubts about the reality of this world. As it tempts the reader to explore the “unknown”, it tends to emphasize the possibility of the existence of vague worlds and issues beyond human mind and science. However, this possibility remains a hypothesis because it is always accompanied by a feeling of “uncertainty” which raises our doubts and made us skeptic about the existence and reality of this world.

The relevance of the study of this problem is due to the small number of works devoted to the work of Konstantin Mikhailovich Stanyukovich. The writer is undeservedly forgotten by both readers and literary scholars, with the exception of a couple of dissertations that appeared in the 2000s. In this regard, this article is aimed at identifying the specifics of the writer's prose works, which reflected the ideas of his famous contemporary N. G. Chernyshevsky. The purpose of this article is to study fiction - carriers of echoes of Chernyshevsky's famous novel "What is to be done?". The leading me

Cet article se propose de considérer Mémoires de deux jeunes mariées sous l’angle de l’influence des lectures sur la vraie vie. Il s’agit tout d’abord d’explorer et d’analyser les goûts littéraires de Louise et de Renée : en quoi leurs lectures correspondent-elles à leurs caractères et à leurs visions de la vie, de l’amour, du bonheur ? En quoi contribuent-elles à dessiner les figures d’une Louise passionnée et d’une Renée raisonnable ? Le questionnement sera ensuite déplacé pour se poser à l’échelle des élèves : quelle lecture peuvent-ils faire du roman de Balzac ? Autrement dit, que leur dit

Abstract:

Caribbean literature is permeated by submarine aesthetics registering the environmental histories of colonialism and capitalism. In this essay, we contribute to the emergent discipline of critical ocean studies by delineating the contours of the “Oceanic Weird”. We begin with a brief survey of Old Weird tales by authors such as William Hope Hodgson and, most famously, H.P. Lovecraft, who were writing in the context of a world still dominated by European colonialism, but increasingly reshaped by an emergent US imperialism. We explore how these tales are both ecophobic and racialized, teeming wi

Résumé Cet article examine quelques réinterprétations du mythe d’Alphée et d’Aréthuse depuis l’Arcadia de Sannazar (1504) jusqu’aux opéras-ballets du début du XVIIIe siècle. Le motif des eaux, — plus particulièrement celui de la légende ovidienne de la course du fleuve amoureux sous la mer, depuis le cour du Péloponnèse jusqu’en Sicile —, a joué un grand rôle dans l’invention du mythe pastoral ; elle a permis de figurer le décentrement, l’idéalisation et l’universalisation de l’Arcadie géographique.

Abstract:

Will humankind ever be able to live underwater? To answer this question from the perspective of visual media studies, I analyze narrative and expressive means used for positive representation of underwater experiences in several examples of screen media. My examples are principally different by origin and yet united by their highly enjoyable effect of immersion into underwater worlds. My primary focus is on Amphibian Man (1928), a cult early science fiction novel by Alexandr Belyaev adapted for screen in 1962 in the USSR.I also explore its unintentionally close contemporary reproduction in The

Abstract:

Reinhard Goering's play Die Südpolexpedition des Kapitäns Scott (1929) tells the story of the famously tragic British polar expedition led by Robert F. Scott in 1911–12. As the first public staging of the story, the play created considerable controversy in Britain when it premiered in Berlin in 1930. A late Expressionist drama, it offered perspectives on the expedition quite different to those coming out of Scott's homeland. In this article, Hanne Nielsen and Elizabeth Leane contextualize the play within Goering's own career; outline its performance history; examine its reception in both Germa

In his 1932 book Brave New World, Aldous Huxley laid out a satirical blueprint of a future so strange to people of the time that it became a symbol of the frightening and unyielding momentum of scientific progress. Literature and popular culture have since been littered with images of a future earth so transformed by human progress (or extraterrestrial intervention) that we can hardly recognize it. Earth historians and paleontologists, however, have taken a different path into the bizarre. This group of time travelers has used the kind of technology that Huxley foreshadowed to recreate past wo

These days environmental issues are among the most commonly reported ones in the world. The dangerous effects of the environmental problems, which are as old as the history of humanity, began to be felt more profoundly after the Industrial Revolution. In former times the environmental problems were felt only at a local level with the destruction of forests in order to facilitate hunting places and clear lands for farming areas. After the Industrial Revolution the extent of the problem rose and reached the catastrophic disaster level with the extensive fossil fuel use. Nowadays, when environmen

Many of his works examined the intersections of different cultures, particularly those influenced by the Indian subcontinent and the Western world. Ghosh analyses and writes in his novels, how people's identity and culture have been changed after colonial periods. Hence, the present research focused on Post-colonial identity and cultural adaptation of the characters in the selected novels of Amitav G

Abstract:

One recurring difficulty in ecotoxicological studies is that a substantial portion of concentrations are below the limits of detection established by analytical laboratories. This results in censored distributions in which concentrations of some samples are only known to be below a threshold. The currently available methods have several limitations because they cannot be used with complex situations (e.g., different lower and upper limits in the same dataset, mixture of distributions, truncation and censoring in a single dataset). We propose a versatile method to fit the most diverse situation

Abstract Stanley Kubrick’s anti-war film Full Metal Jacket (1987) dramatically represents US Marine Corps basic training during the Vietnam War as both gruelling and brutalising. The brutal, linguistically aggressive and physically intimidating scenes purport to detail the dehumanising process that Marine Corps recruits were put through in preparation for combat during that period. In the film, the recruits are trained by Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, played by the actor R. Lee Ermey, who is himself an ex-Marine Corps drill instructor (1965–1967) and who also served in Vietnam in 1968. As a result

Abstract:

Animal advocacy documentaries have, in the last decades, established themselves as an identifiable subgenre of their own with strategic conventions such as featuring the gaze of the nonhuman animal “looking back” for moral shock and ethical purposes. This article examines the problematic gaze and face of a particular species, the orca, with regards to such convention, and sets out to analyze how Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s Blackfish (2013) and William Neal’s Long Gone Wild (2019) deal with the representation of orca faces, gazes, and bodies within their wider structural dichotomy of captivity and
