| Abstract: | The paper proposes to study how water has been depicted in Green Literatures, especially with reference to Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood and Helon Habila’s Oil on Water, analyzing whether it has been used merely as an aspect of imagery or is an important narrative tool. Green Literature is a term used for literatures that have underlying ecological themes and narratives; these works are considered part of Ecocriticism, a field of discourse that applies ecological concepts to literature. The Year of the Flood is a Science Fiction set in a world where corporate-led human advancement is primary, and the world of nature is just a resource to be exhausted for such advancement. This path of advancement leads to the outbreak of a ‘waterless flood’ which results in an apocalypse which threatens the existence of entire humanity in the novel. This flood narrative in the novel has roots in age-old western mythos like the Bible, and it points to a continuing tradition of didacticism from the mythos to Sci-Fi through the idea of water (flood). Oil on Water is a Petrofiction which describes the effect of Big Oil on the Niger River Delta. This novel shows the effects of operations of Western Neocolonial Corporations (in Neocolonised countries) not only on the local people there, but also the local ecology as well, especially water. Water in this novel is not only an indicator of ecological health, but is also a medium of subversion of anthropocentrism, which in Ecocriticism, is a major cause of our unjust treatment of ecology. In both these works, water is not merely an entity of nature, but an important part of the ecological narrative of the novel. These are the motives that led me to look at the two novels for their depiction of water. |
