"Climate Violence and the Poetics of Refuge" examines the challenges of representing environmental violence and imagining refuge on an environmentally unstable planet. I approach this dilemma through the literature of the twenty-first-century U.S. and Global South, including an oral history of oil workers, a vampire novel, experimental poetry, outdoor theater, and documentary and fictional film. The project traces the ways infrastructure promises the necessities for survival and inclusion in modernity at the same time as it acts as a tool of social control and differentiation. The speakers in my archive imagine ways of inhabiting vulnerable environments that refuse the legacies of slavery and colonialism.The dissertation also traces an emergent awareness in my archive of economic and environmental vulnerability as well as the limitations of conventional historical and literary narrative to account for violent pasts. Alongside the pressures of constraint is these archives' stubborn, improvisatory, and celebratory insistence that there are alternative modes of being to those presented by liberal discourses of progress and enfranchisement. Dominant ways of knowing do not just overlook these alternatives; they are, as my project demonstrates, structurally incapable of seeing them. But just as these intertwined social and ecological lives provide the matrix for capital accumulation, their persistence shows us that in spite of their obscurity, other ways of being continue to exist. My goal here is both to theorize the limitations to representing environmental violence, and to explore how other aesthetics and reading practices offer ways of attending to social-ecological lives that persist beyond exploitation. Through four chapters, each exploring a different state of possibility-Coherence, Dispersal, Security, and Escape-"Climate Violence and the Poetics of Refuge" practices reading for ecological and social lives beneath legible stories of progress.
