Abstract:

Econarratives are all around us, describing and shaping human
interactions with other species and the physical environment. This
book provides a foundational theory of econarrative, drawing from
narratology, human ecology, critical discourse analysis, and
ecolinguistics, and offering insights from a rich variety of texts
including:

· Creation myths
· Indigenous podcasts
· Ethical leadership speeches
· Haiku poetry
· Documentary films
· New nature writing
· Advertisements and campaigns
· Apocalyptic stories

Adopting a global, transdisciplinary approach, it conducts in-depth
analysis of specific works, including the Cherokee myth How the World
Was Made, the speeches of Vandana Shiva, Nightwalk by Chris Yates,
Naomi Klein's documentary This Changes Everything, the podcasts of
Mohawk seed-keeper Rowen White, the Book of Revelation, and The Dark
Mountain Manifesto.

Raising awareness of the powerful role that language plays in
structuring our lives and society, the book reveals narratological and
linguistic features that convey activation, emotion, empathy,
identity, placefulness, enchantment, compassion and other key factors
that shape interactions with the natural world. If we want real,
fundamental change, then we must search for new econarratives to live
by.
