Adrian Kane, a professor of Spanish in the Department of World Languages, recently published an article titled “Collateral Damage: Nature and the Accumulation of Capital in Héctor Aguilar ‘Camín’s El resplandor de la madera [The Radiance of Wood]’ and Jennifer Clement’s ‘Prayers for the Stolen.’” It appears in the edited volume, Ecofictions, Ecorealities, and Slow Violence in Latin America and the Latinx World.In his article, Kane analyzes the intertwined relationship between nature and culture in both novels, asserting that these two seemingly disparate works contain a point of contact in their representation of nature as collateral damage in the battle for the accumulation of capital.
