Postgrowth Imaginaries<https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/books/isbn/9781786949363/> explores cultural strategies in Post-2008 Spain that challenge the dominant economic imaginary and suggests that imagining postgrowth economic cultures is crucial for developing socially just responses to ecological crises. The book comments on the significance of the environmental humanities in thinking, not just critically, but imaginatively about the global ecological crisis and the social and ecological failures of the growth paradigm. Some relevant topics include ecological economics, urban ecology, waste, nonhuman agency, and the pedagogy of catastrophe.
Luis I. Prádanos (Iñaki) is Associate Professor of Hispanic Contemporary Studies at Miami University. His research focuses on ecocritical theory and environmental humanities in relation to Contemporary Iberian cultures. Iñaki is the author of Postgrowth Imaginaries. New Ecologies and Counterhegemonic Culture in Post-2008 Spain (Liverpool UP, 2018). In 2017, he edited a special section on “Contemporary Iberian Ecocriticism and New Materialisms” and co-edited a special number on “South Atlantic Ecocriticism.” He is currently editing a special issue on “Culture and Ecology in Contemporary Iberian Cultural Studies” for the AJHCS.
