(Trans-)Oceanic Imaginations

This volume launches an interdisciplinary series on transoceanic literary and cultural entanglements, offering readers in-depth insights into the complex interactions between oceans and cultural practices. From a literary and cultural studies standpoint, it reveals how seas function as active spaces of entanglement, migration, memory, environmental crises, and infrastructure. The contributions integrate decolonial, ecological, and epistemological perspectives to understand oceans as multifaceted agents of global history and contemporary realities. Target audiences include researchers and students in literature, cultural, and environmental studies, as well as those interested in transnational and decolonial approaches to globalization and oceanic spaces.
