ECOSICKNESS IN GAIN BY RICHARD POWERS AND BERJI KRISTIN: THE TALES FROM THE GARBAGE HILLS BY LATİFE TEKİN
Öz
This article aims to investigate “ecosickness” in Gain (1998) by Richard Powers and Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills (1984) by Latife Tekin in the light of Ecosicknesss: In Contemporary U.S. Fiction (2014) by Heather Houser. The analysis of the novels is remarkable, especially in terms of their underlining the mutuality of environment and health. Concerning the concept of trans-corporeality by Stacy Alaimo in conjunction with Rob Nixon’s concept of slow violence and Buell’s interpretation of toxicity, this article traces ecosickness in these novels. It mainly discusses the significance of toxic materials and their interference with the environment and human bodies, and their increasingly harmful effects on them. The writers unveil the ecological consequences of human ignorance of the interdependencies of the living and non-living and the responsibility for perpetuating toxic scenes. Their writings identify environmental issues like toxic contamination, environmental pollution, contaminated private and public spheres, and the impact of technological or industrial toxic risks on humans and non-humans. The main focus in their novels is on how the bodies and minds of the characters in their novels are enmeshed in their environments. By deploying close readings, it explores how Powers and Tekin underline the link between capitalism's intention to expand profit and environmental degradation and reflect environmental issues in the form of ecosickness. It reveals how they consider the correlation between human bodies and their physical world, explain the loss of human health and environmental health due to ecological crises, especially in the form of pollution, contamination and toxicity, and engage with issues on environmental degradation through ethics of responsibility.
