PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ranjan Ghosh teaches in the Department of English at the University of North Bengal. He is completing a trilogy on plastic. His second book on plastic, Plastic Figures, is forthcoming from Cornell University Press. Find him online at ranjanghosh.in.
Ghosh uses plastic metaphorically and in an innovative way to advance understanding of literature, art, and life in the present. In so doing, he develops a new material aesthetic, one that offers a new way to view history, ontology, and ecology as well as literature and the arts. * Choice * Ecocriticism's ongoing heterogenization mirrors broader strides in the environmental humanities, including advances in green postcolonial analysis, ice humanities, plant studies, waste studies, and related ecohumanistic domains. As a case in point, a significant contribution to ecocritical examinations of waste is Ranjan Ghosh's The Plastic Turn. Through a material-aesthetic optic, Ghosh genealogizes the impact of the plastic polymer on critical theory and literary modernism * The Year's Work in Critical & Cultural Theory * An original and worthwhile reading experience for all those concerned with the humanities, the Anthropocene, the written word and the ecology of good and bad ideas. Ghosh's The Plastic Turn not only breaks the mold of literary criticism but asks others to refashion critical literature in elastic, versatile and plastic ways. * LSE Review of Books *
