FRIAS Project
“Watery Surroundings – Islandic Conditions: Active Waterscapes in Latin American Literature and Film”
This research project focuses on the staging of aquatic agency in recent Chilean, Argentinian and Brazilian literature and film, published between 2009 and 2023. Embedded in discourses from the Blue Humanities as well as from Material Ecocriticism and New Materialism, it aims at producing new insights into the construction of relations between water and humans as well as into the poetic implications of land-water-contacts. All films and poetries of the corpus focus on water as an active element in islandic conditions. Thus, a hypothesis is that aquatic agency as a storytelling force is shaped not only through multiple human/more-than-human entanglements but that it is also intrinsically linked to the literary and filmic modulation of the liminal space between water and land.
