Challenged by the many ways literature and art give voice to the issues of materiality and shape “narratives of matter,” this essay is an invitation to examine the effects of the “material turn” on ecocriticism. In my discourse, I argue that a re-conceptualization of materiality will enhance both ecocriticism’s epistemology and political stances, providing theoretical and practical tools for an ecological horizontalism and a cultural ethics of liberation.

Abstract
Challenged by the many ways literature and art give voice to the issues of materiality and shape “narratives of matter,” this essay is an invitation to examine the effects of the “material turn” on ecocriticism. In my discourse, I argue that a re-conceptualization of materiality will enhance both ecocriticism’s epistemology and political stances, providing theoretical and practical tools for an ecological horizontalism and a cultural ethics of liberation.
