dc.description.abstractThis article examines John Burnside's Glister (2008) as a novel of dark ecology,expounding the changing relationship between humans and nature, with a particularfocus on the environmental and bodily contamination and its effects on social and moralstructures of everyday life in a Scottish town. In charting the strange transformations ofthe Anthropocene, the new geological epoch where humans have become a geologic forcechanging planetary ecosystems, the article situates Glister with respect to today'sposthuman ecocritical debates around toxicity and dark ecologies introduced by TimothyMorton and Paul Kingsnorth. Burnside aligns two versions of dark ecology predicated onthe repudiation of green ecology, conjuring up a “dark green” ecological vision in whichhumans are fundamentally enmeshed in and interdependent with the more-than-humanworld, no matter how dark and horrifying this coexistence becomes. In doing so, it showshow Burnside anticipates a “postecological” reality by suggesting a new de?nition ofnature in which the environment becomes both green and dark as well as real andspectral. The study develops this argument through a discussion of Morton's conceptualtools, such as “mesh” and “strange stranger,” highlighting the novel's emphasis on radicalinterconnection and liminality between human and extra-human entities. Pointing out thatit is impossible to run away from the toxic predicament befalling humans alongside otherbodily natures in this strange coexistence, Burnside intensi?es his questioning of darkgreen nature, evoking an eco-grief not just for human loss, but for the humandisenchantment of ecological reality.
