In the Anthropocene, the pace of human development outpaces that of natural evolution, disrupting ecological balance
and transforming humans from a biological existence into a potent geological force. The superiority of humans often leads to
simplifying and exploiting other forms of natural entities as mere resources, neglecting long-term impacts on our planet. This
mindset further creates a divide between humans and non-humans. However, the advancements in science and technology have
blurred the line between nature and culture. Nature is no longer an external backdrop but deeply intertwined with human

In the Humanities, notions of coloniality and postcoloniality are usually entangled with nation states that are, by nature, multilingual and multicultural. The societies of each of these nations are further stratified based on hierarchies of economic and social-political classifications. In other words, motivated and maintained by and through power and notions of telos, differences of race, sexuality, caste, and religion exist in differing ways. Literatures of these differences then occupy their space(s) under the larger category of ‘postcolonial literature(s)’.
