In the speculative research of plant bioacoustics, one enters into a sonic intra-active relation, by humans with non-human beings (plant life), activated through acoustic wave signals emitted by plants to create electronic patterns of sounds composed by humans and emitted by machines. Plants emit sound waves at relatively low frequencies of 50–120 ...

Extractivism as I discuss it is an ideology in which people or texts adopt mindsets wherein ecological entities serve a ...

The aim is to propose an inter/transdisciplinary methodology between ecocriticism and environmental humanities to address the cultural representation and the experience of material waste. First, an ecocritical analysis of a contemporary case of Latin American literature addres...
