Resumo: | The Earlie King & The Kid in Yellow (2018), by Danny Denton, narrates the myth of Ireland’s destruction through fire and the digital collapse after the country faces years of uninterrupted rains caused by the environmental catastrophe left mainly by the pharmaceutical industry. The purpose of this article is to investigate how this work matches and challenges both the ecocritical and dystopian tradition produced in the English language of the hegemonic centers and the literary tradition of its own country. For that I use four didactic divisions: 1) brief summary of how the Anthropocene has been represented in English-language literature; 2) the contribution of dystopia to the representation of climate change in literature; 3) historical overview of Irish literature, and 4) contextualization of Denton’s work under analysis. In this last part, I conclude with the observation that the novel does not propose an alternative to solve the problems of the Anthropocene, but warns of the collapse that we are about to experience. |

O propósito deste artigo é investigar como essa obra coaduna e desafia ao mesmo tempo a tradição ecocrítica e distópica produzida na língua inglesa dos centros hegemônicos e a tradição literária de seu próprio país. Para tanto eu utilizo quatro divisões didáticas: 1) breve resumo de como o Antropoceno tem sido representado na literatura de língua inglesa; 2) a contribuição da distopia para representação das alterações climáticas na literatura; 3) panorama histórico da literatura da Irlanda e 4) contextualização da obra de Denton em análise. Nesta última parte, arremato com a observação de que o romance não propõe alternativa para solucionar os problemas do Antropoceno, mas alerta para o colapso que estamos na iminência de vivenciarUFSC2023-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/9222910.5007/2175-8026.2023.e92229Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 76 No. 2 (2023): (Re)creating possible futures or alternative presents through the artsIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 76 n. 2 (2023): (Re)creating possible futures or alternative presents through the arts2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/92229/54049Copyright (c) 2023 Rejanehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, Rejane de Souza2023-08-22T16:27:27Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/92229Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2023-08-22T16:27:27Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
