“The Worlding Game”: Queer Ecological Perspectives In Modern Fiction, Sarah D'Stair Oct 2019

“The Worlding Game”: Queer Ecological Perspectives In Modern Fiction, Sarah D'Stair

Doctoral Dissertations

Cultural and literary theorists have been increasingly advocating for a posthuman ethic that challenges oppressive binaries of all kinds.
