  • The Environmental Unconscious - Ecological Poetics from Spenser to Milton - cover

    The Environmental Unconscious -...

    Why has psychoanalysis long been kept at the margins of environmental criticism despite the theories of eco-Marxism, queer ecology, and eco-deconstruction available today? What is unique, possibly even traumatic, about eco-psychoanalysis? The Environmental Unconscious addresses these questions as it provides an innovative and theoretical account of environmental loss focused on the counterintuitive forms of enjoyment that early modern poetry and psychoanalysis jointly theorize. 
     
     
     
    Steven Swarbrick urges literary critics and environmental scholars to rethink notions of entanglement, animacy, and consciousness raising. Through close readings of Edmund Spenser, Walter Ralegh, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton, he reveals a world of matter that is not merely hyperconnected, as in the new materialism, but porous and off-kilter. And yet the loss these poets reveal is central to the enjoyment their works offer—and that nature offers. 
     
     
     
    The Environmental Unconscious offers a provocative challenge to ecocriticism that a new theory of disconnection is desperately needed. Tracing the propulsive force of the environmental unconscious from the early modern period to Freudian and post-Freudian theories of desire, Swarbrick not only puts nature on the couch in this book but also renews the psychoanalytic toolkit in light of environmental collapse.

  • Economic Impacts of Imperialism - How Empire Building Shaped Global Trade and Economics - cover

    Economic Impacts of Imperialism...

    Imperialism, as a driving force in global history, established the foundation for much of the modern world's economic and political systems. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient civilizations, where conquest and control of territories provided the resources and labor necessary for expansion and prosperity. Over time, the concept evolved, shaped by cultural ambitions, geopolitical competition, and economic incentives. By the late 15th century, the age of exploration began a new phase of empire building, marked by the European powers seeking wealth and influence beyond their borders. 
    At the heart of imperialism was the pursuit of economic gain. Wealth from foreign lands, particularly precious metals, spices, and other coveted resources, spurred the earliest imperial endeavors. These ventures not only enriched nations but also fueled rivalry among emerging powers. The drive for resources and markets intensified during the Renaissance and the early modern period, as advancements in navigation and maritime technology made long-distance expeditions feasible. Imperial powers sought to expand their influence by establishing colonies, which would serve as sources of raw materials and as markets for manufactured goods. 
    Cultural and ideological factors also played a role in shaping imperialism. The belief in the superiority of certain civilizations over others justified the conquest and subjugation of indigenous peoples. Religion was another motivator, with missionary efforts often accompanying territorial expansion. Christianity, in particular, became a tool for legitimizing imperial control, as colonizing powers framed their endeavors as missions to civilize and convert native populations. This intertwined economic exploitation with a sense of moral and cultural obligation, creating a complex dynamic between the colonizers and the colonized.
