Teaching environmental writing: ecocritical pedagogy and poetics

Abstract

strike, the details of the crimes of Franco's regime are there, waiting in the archive until the will to expose them becomes insurmountable. The repressed cannot remain under the surface indefinitely. This book is a must read for iberophiles, ecocritics and anyone interested in the material agency of waste. Its exploration of film, photography, literature and garbage converges into something that feels urgent, unique and perversely entertaining. The metaphors that Amago creates between garbage, forgotten spaces, buried documents and repressed histories come to life when put into conversation with what artists can make of the discarded. Amago‘s book will undoubtedly affect the way that any reader looks at, and interacts with, the basura in their own surroundings.
