This volume develops the concepts and methods of Critical Zone Analysis in the South Asia context. Critical Zone Analysis is a new way for the humanities to recompose narratives to do with climate change and other critical environmental problems through literature, the sciences, and science and technology studies. Extending the legacy of Bruno Latour, the diverse contributors in this book demonstrate that scholars of southern Asia have much to offer the environmental humanities during this conjuncture where the modernist conceptual architectures are falling apart under the pressure from threatening future scenarios. Certainties about western versions of progress are challenged in this book not only by material planetary limitations but also by decolonizing assertions about alternative modernities and territorially sustainable ways of life among Indigenous peoples. Part of the Critical Interventions in Theory and Praxis series, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of environmental humanities, climate change, sociology, literature, science, feminism, gender studies, and South Asian studies.
