- Title
"New Planets for Old": A Posthumanist Ecocritical Approach to Jeanette Winterson's Ustopia.
- Authors

- Abstract
Jeanette Winterson's 2007 novel The Stone Gods reflects its author's propensity for experimental writing in both form and content, as well as her unwavering commitment to anti-corporatism, ecological praxis, posthuman ethical theory and non-anthropocentric posthumanist models, revealing her compulsion to whimsically interrogate dominant conceptions of what it means to be human. This paper offers a clearly-articulated analysis of this Wintersonian ustopia performed through the lenses of recent theoretically interconnected fields such as environmental literary criticism and contemporary critical posthumanism.
