Climate change is the most urgent issue of the present. Numerous studies
have shown the impact of global warming on the environment and biodiversity
and, especially in Oceania, on people’s political status, their health,
cultures and languages. The climate emergency in this region has also
prompted the rise of militant artistic and literary forms, often mixing
different literary genres and/or arts, drawing on modern technology and
Indigenous wisdom. A Special Issue of the Journal of New Zealand & Pacific
Studies will be dedicated to Eco-Artivism, a portmanteau word combining art
and activism, in this case applied to environmental issues, in order to
observe the connections between climate change, Oceanic arts and
literatures, multilingualism, multiethnicity and multiculturalism,
biodiversity and politics. For the purpose of this issue, the term
‘Oceania’ refers here to Pacific Islands and countries of the Pacific and
Pacific Rim (including Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand).

We welcome proposals for articles, interviews and reports to be published
in this Special Issue of the Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies and
pertaining, but not limited, to the following areas of study:


   -
