The book is an attempt to interrogate the human and non-human nexus and difference. Environmental discourse the world over has reiterated a paradigm shift from the anthropocentric to the biocentric and holistic and the essays in this volume initiate attention toward the interrelationship of imagination and the world-out-there. Theorizing through ecologically self reflexive criticism, it is argued, is a reintegration of the text and the world, history and narrative, meaning and value. The essays in this volume seek to explore and problematize this vast field of human experience bordering non-human nature, in a sincere and wholehearted manner with openness and commitment. Methodological and disciplinary differences notwithstanding, the attempt here is a collective search for the holistic understanding of nature and human nature.
