This extraordinary collection of scholarly articles and literary translations, published nearly twenty years after the 1996 symposium, offers a fitting tribute to the multidimensionality of Ishimure’s literary work and to the growing sophistication of ecocriticism. I enjoyed this book tremendously and learned a lot from it. -- Scott Slovic, University of Idaho, coeditor of The Routledge Handbook of Ecocriticism and Environmental Communication\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction \tBruce Allen and Yuki Masami Chapter 1: The World of Kugai Jōdo \tWatanabe Kyōji Chapter 2: Antiquity and Modernity of the Shiranui Sea \tIkezawa Natsuki Chapter 3: The Danger of a Single Story: Ishimure Michiko’s Literary Approach to the Minamata Disease Incident \tYuki Masami Chapter 4: Mapping Modernity: Home and the World in Ishimure Michiko’s Kugai Jōdo \tToyosato Mayumi Chapter 5: Literature Without Us \tChristine Marran Chapter 6: Ishimure Michiko as Contemporary Thinker \tIwaoka Nakamasa Chapter 7: Atonement and At-one-ment: From Story of the Sea of Camellias to Lake of Heaven \tPatrick Murphy Chapter 8: Ishimure Michiko and Global Ecocriticism \tKaren Thornber Chapter 9: Another World in This World: Slow Violence, Environmental Time, and the Decolonial Imagination in Ishimure Michiko’s Villages of the Gods \tLivia Monnet Chapter 10: The Noh Imagination in Shiranui and the Work of Ishimure Michiko \tBruce Allen Chapter 11: Shiranui: A Contemporary Noh Play \tA Translation by Aihara Yuko and Bruce Allen About the Editors and Contributors","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037550051671,"sku":"9780739194225","price":83.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780739194225.jpg?v=1750936214","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ishimure-michikos-writing-in-ecocritical-perspective-9780739194225","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
