Northrop Frye Centre Lecture | Hurricane Culture
This talk discusses and exemplifies the concept of hurricane culture, which refers to the evolving knowledges, beliefs, narratives, practices, and artistic expressions acquired and co-developed over the centuries by diverse peoples and ecosystems that have had to deal with storms and environmental degradation. From the first hurricane warning, issued by Catalan-Cuban Jesuit priest Benito Viñes in the 19th century, to current cultural representations, the talk argue that both written and visual portrayals of storms can help expand understandings of past, present, and future socioecological interactions in the Atlantic Hurricane Belt. Drawing upon Édouard Glissant’s concept of a poetics of relations, the paper articulates the relational quality of the Atlantic World from an ecocritical perspective and considers what hurricanes and the environment tell us about our entangled histories and cultures.
