This book foregrounds entanglement as a guiding concept in
Derrida’s work and considers its implications and benefits for
ecocritical thought. Ergin introduces the notion of "ecological
text" to emphasize textuality as a form of entanglement that
proves useful in thinking about ecological interdependence and
uncertainty. She brings deconstruction into a dialogue with
social ecology and new materialism, outlining entanglements in
three strands of thought to demonstrate the relevance of this
concept in theoretical terms. Ergin then investigates
natural-social entanglements through a comparative analysis of
the works of the American poet Juliana Spahr and the Turkish
writer Latife Tekin. The book enriches our understanding of
complicity and accountability by revealing the ecological network
of material and discursive forces in which we are deeply
embedded. It makes a significant contribution to current debates
on ecocritical theory, comparative literature, and ecopoetics.
