<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-family:Calibri">Cli-fi
(or climate fiction) has recently emerged as a new subgenre describing tales of
imminent disaster as a consequence of anthropogenic climate change. <span style> </span>If Rachel Carson’s <i style>Silent Spring</i> invoked nature extinguished, passive or defeated, these
narratives of environmental change present an unexpectedly feral, unpredictable
world where an aggressive nature runs rampant. In this special issue we hope to
excavate the resources of popular genres for talking about risk, causality and
the unintended consequences of human action. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style><span style="font-family:Calibri">This
issue will interrogate the ways we narrate non-human agency.<span style> </span>How do these stories revisit the spectacle
and power of the sublime? Can popular culture help us re-imagine environments,
objects and non-human animals in a time of rapid ecological change? What is the
affective potentiality of narratives of hubris, revenge and fear?<span style> </span>And how are whiteness, colonial politics of
‘natives’ and ‘non-natives’, and border policing restaged across these diverse
and composite bodies?<span style> </span>We invite
theoretically, empirically and/or textually grounded articles and welcome
articles that locate Australia in comparative or international contexts.<span style> </span></span></p>
