[ONLINE] Translating Taiwanese Eco-literature: Geopolitical ecologies of language in a contested critical zone

Presenting a forthcoming co-edited volume of Taiwanese eco-literature in translation, this
talk considers Taiwan’s contested statehood and fecund yet fragile natural environment as
geopolitical affordances that propel institutional and financial support for literary projects.
Casting light on the production and circulation of multilingual texts, this auto-ethnographic
examination of a transnational project affords a novel ecological view of ethnogenesis,
nationalism, conflict, and cooperation in Taiwan and beyond.
