This book foregrounds entanglement as a guiding concept in Derrida's
work and considers its implications and benefits for ecocritical
thought. Ergin introduces the notion of "ecological text" to emphasize
textuality as a form of entanglement that proves useful in thinking
about ecological interdependence and uncertainty. She brings
deconstruction into a dialogue with social ecology and new materialism,
outlining entanglements in three strands of thought to demonstrate the
relevance of this concept in theoretical terms. Ergin then investigates
natural-social entanglements through a comparative analysis of the works
of the American poet Juliana Spahr and the Turkish writer Latife Tekin.
The book enriches our understanding of complicity and accountability by
revealing the ecological network of material and discursive forces in
which we are deeply embedded. It makes a significant contribution to
current debates on ecocritical theory, comparative literature, and
ecopoetics.
