This study examines key aspects of Bruno Latour’ s ecological discourse and considers its implications for political and literary practices in the Anthropocene. Arguing that the ecological crisis stems from the modernization project, Latour particularly criticizes the modern concept of ‘ nature ’ for depriving the earth of its vitality and agency. In his view, a pivotal step towards addressing the current crisis involves restoring the concept of Gaia, which recognizes the Earth as vital and active. Regarding the restoration, Latour emphasizes, it is important to note that Gaia should not be understood as a system of totality, but rather as ‘ waves of action’ of myriad actors, significantly including non-humans. However, Latour’ s political ecology is trapped in the framework of ‘representation’, and its ‘politics’ rarely puts on the agenda the pervasive antagonisms encompassing such critical issues as climate justice, inequality, predatory capitalist accumulation and regrowth. The problem with Latour’ s political ecology might also be transferred to the literary practices that rely on his ecological discourse. While accommodating representation as an integral component, a properly literary practice goes on to achieve the narrative dimension. Such practice of ecological politics of literature could contribute to the advancement of political ecology, thereby fostering a more comprehensive response to the challenges in the Anthropocene.
