Turkish Ecocriticism: From Neolithic to Contemporary Timescapes explores the values, perceptions, and transformations of the environment, ecology, and nature in Turkish culture, literature, and the arts. Through these themes, it examines historical and contemporary environmentally engaged literary and cultural traditions in Turkey. The volume re-imagines Turkey in its geo-social and ecocultural narratives of multiple connections and complexities, in its multi-faceted webs of histories, and in its rich multispecies stories.

Situated at the nexus of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities, this volume calls us to reconnect present-day eco-cultural practices with humanity’s roots of 12,000 years past. At the crossroads of Anatolia, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea, Turkey’s ancient sites such as Göbekli Tepe and Çatal Höyük provide texts of human interanimality, and the sweep of this volume recuperates Turkey’s human-ecological arts, narratives, and cultural-economic practices, placing this history in conversation with the urgent eco-crises of the Capitalocene.
