The Pacific, past and present, remains uneasily amenable to territorial demarcations of national or marine sovereignty. At the same time, as a planetary element necessary to sustaining life and well-being, the Pacific could become the means to envisioning ecological solidarity, if compellingly framed in terms that elicit consent and inspire an imagination of co-belonging and care. The Pacific can signify a bioregional site of coalitional promise as much as a danger zone of antagonistic peril. \u003cbr\u003eWith ground-breaking writings from authors based in North America, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Hawaii, and Guam and new modes of research     including multispecies ethnography and practice, ecopoetics, and indigenous cosmopolitics     authors explore the socio-political significance of the Pacific and contribute to the development of a collective effort of comparative Pacific studies covering a refreshingly broad, ethnographically grounded range of research themes. This volume aims to decenter continental\/land poetics as such via long-standing transnational Pacific ties, re-worlding Pacific literature as world literature.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643193381022,"sku":"UBD-9781501389368","price":59.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501389368.jpg?v=1774483656","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501389368","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
