商品描述
Storying Plants in Australian Children's and Young Adult Literature: Roots and Winged Seeds explores cultural and historical aspects of the representation of plants in Australian children's and young adult literature, encompassing colonial, postcolonial, and Indigenous perspectives. While plants tend to be backgrounded as of less narrative interest than animals and humans, this book, in conversation with the field of critical plant studies, approaches them as living beings worthy of attention. Australia is home to over 20,000 species of native plants - from pungent Eucalypts to twisting mangroves, from tiny orchids to spiky, silvery spinifex. Indigenous Australians have lived with, relied upon, and cultivated these plants for many thousands of years. When European explorers and colonists first invaded Australia, unfamiliar species of plants captured their imagination. Vulnerable to bushfires, climate change, and introduced species, plants continue to occupy fraught butvital places in Australian ecologies, texts, and cultures. Discussing writers from Ambelin Kwaymullina and Aunty Joy Murphy to May Gibbs and Ethel Turner, and embracing transnational perspectives from Ukraine, Poland, and Aotearoa New Zealand, Storying Plants addresses the stories told about plants but also the stories that plants themselves tell, engaging with the wide-ranging significance of plants in Australian children's and Young Adult literature.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《澳洲兒童與青少年文學中的植物故事：根與有翼的種子》探討了植物在澳洲兒童與青少年文學中的文化和歷史表現，涵蓋了殖民、後殖民和原住民的視角。雖然植物通常被視為比動物和人類更不具敘事興趣的背景元素，但本書在與批判性植物研究領域的對話中，將它們視為值得關注的生命體。澳洲擁有超過20,000種本土植物——從氣味濃烈的尤加利樹到扭曲的紅樹林，從微小的蘭花到尖刺的銀色草。澳洲原住民與這些植物共同生活、依賴並培育了數千年。當歐洲探險者和殖民者首次入侵澳洲時，陌生的植物物種引起了他們的想像。植物面臨著叢林大火、氣候變遷和外來物種的威脅，仍然在澳洲的生態、文本和文化中佔據著重要而複雜的地位。《植物故事》討論了從Ambelin Kwaymullina和Aunty Joy Murphy到May Gibbs和Ethel Turner的作家，並擁抱來自烏克蘭、波蘭和新西蘭的跨國視角，探討了關於植物的故事以及植物本身所講述的故事，深入探討植物在澳洲兒童與青少年文學中的廣泛意義。
