A Critical Study of Ecological Justice in Tokarczuk’s The World in Your Mind
Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities - QJSSH - Year 2025, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
There is a role that every individual must play for Mother Earth to sustain itself beyond the anthropocentric understanding of the world i.e. human beings and their needs are solely central to the world. As such belief systems have only harmed the planet and resultantly the very people inhabiting it. This research extrapolates the idea of ecological justice "justice to nature" (Wienhues 2017): creating a system that is nearer to a sustainable balance between humans and the ecology around them. Are there any individualized roles that any people could play for a just ecological system? The World in Your Mind (Tokarczuk & Croft, 2017) allows a reading of such an ecological justice at play where the protagonist traces a journey – outwards and inwards – through movement, she has understood a balanced subjectivity in contrast with the world around.
