{"product_id":"9783031771255","title":"The Call of the Eco-Weird in Fiction, Films, and Games","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume identifies and analyses the Eco-Weird as an interdisciplinary theoretical tool for engaging in fictional, philosophical, filmic, and ludic texts. It is the first volume to engage in the study of the Eco-Weird, which is a developing field at the intersection of environmental thought and Weird fiction, broadly construed to include literature, games, films, art, and television shows. The Eco-Weird has intersections with other literary and scholarly fields, including horror studies, game studies, phenomenology, literary criticism, and eco-criticism, but provides a unique set of tools to engage both its texts and the ongoing environmental crises of climate change, environmental justice, pollution, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Fungal Fictions: New Weird Materialism and Mycelial Biohorror.- Chapter 3: Departing the Place Once Familiar: Lovecraft's Eco-Weird Thought.- Chapter 4: The Weird as Crisis Genre: Tipping Points, Ontological Reorientation, and the Desert Tide in Algernon Blackwood's \"Sand\" (1912).- Chapter 5: Weird Ecology and the Deconstruction of the Globe.- Chapter 6: Hermeneutics and the Eco-Weird.- Chapter 7: (Eco)-Weirding Folk Horror in Alex Garland's \u003cem\u003eMen\u003c\/em\u003e.- Chapter 8: Staying with the Weird: Apophatic Wonder and Cosmographic Exploration in Eco-Weird Games.- Chapter 9: Tabletop Eco-Weird: Gameplay Experience and Ecological Ethics.- Chapter 10: Forms and Themes of the Eco-Weird: Experimentation and Play in a Warming World.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrian Hisao Onishi\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at Pennsylvania State University, Altoona, PA, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNathan M.
