Material Ecocriticism Quotes

“A “perspective” is located in the body, writes Vivieros de Castro. It is not “a representation because representations are a property of the mind or spirit. . . . The ability to adopt a point of view is undoubtedly a power of the soul, and nonhumans are subjects in so far as they have (or are) spirit; but the differences between viewpoints . . . [lies] in the specificity of bodies” (“Exchanging” 474).”
― Serenella Iovino, Material Ecocriticism
