Abstract

As a collective, the essays in Prismatic Ecology mark an inspiring new direction in ecophilosophical and ecocritical thinking. With caution towards viewing ecology (solely) in terms of ‘green’, Prismatic Ecology is a timely encouragement to think carefully about the symbols we use to represent the world, whilst finding within the colour spectrum a range of motifs to express and drive different ways of thinking  about human and other-than-human interaction.
