BloomThe Nutmeg's Curse – Amitav GhoshI 1621 voksede muskatnødtræet stadig kun på de indonesiske Banda-øer, som i kolonitidens Europa var blevet kendt som en del af de såkaldte Krydderiøer. For at få monopol på handel med muskatnød besluttede de hollandske handelsrejsende i Nederlandsk Ostindien Kompagni at fordrive og massakrere den lokale befolkning – og udpinte derefter øernes økosystemer i håbet om at øge produktionen. Det er denne dystre voldshistorie, den indiske klimaforfatter Amitav Ghosh i sin blændende nonfiktionsbog 'The Nutmeg's Curse' trævler op i en større kulegravning af sammenhængen mellem kolonihistorie, kapitalisme og klimakrise. Historien om muskatnødden – der...

Den levendeAmitav Ghosh (2/2): Det er ikke kun mennesker, der kan kommunikere (PREMIUM)Den store vildfarelse, kaldte han den. Den indiske stjerneforfatter Amitav Ghosh brød igennem til nye generationer, da han i fire banebrydende forelæsninger på University of Chicago hudflettede den politiske og kulturelle blindhed over for klimaforandringerne. I dette afsnit af Den levende, det andet af to afsnit med Amitav Ghosh, fortæller han, hvordan vi retter op på fejlen. Vi har nemlig glemt, at det langt fra kun mennesker, der former verden og kommunikerer, siger Ghosh. Og hvis vi begynder at få øje for de ikke-menneskelige kræfter, der påvirker både vores og planetens liv, kan v...

BloomThe Stories of Our Climate – Andri Snær Magnason, Amitav Ghosh & Lotte FolkeTo af klimalitteraturens mest markante forfattere mødtes på Bloom 2025 : Andri Snær Magnason, der i maj udgav fortællingen 'Jötunstein', og den indiske romanforfatter og essayist Amitav Ghosh, der er aktuel på dansk med 'Den store vildfarelse'. Ghosh er berømt og berygtet for sin kritik af den moderne roman, som er tynget under et psykologisk verdensbillede, hvor det er mennesket, der handler, og naturen blot er en passiv omverden. Derfor har romankunsten ifølge Ghosh aldrig fået greb om klimakrisen, og der er brug for nye, vilde fortællinger, der tillader naturkræfterne at træde i forgrunden...

SWR Kultur lesenswert - LiteraturAmitav Ghosh – Rauch und Asche | Buchkritik
Und wieder steht ein Akteur aus der Pflanzenwelt im Zentrum des Geschehens. Nach „Der Fluch der Muskatnuss“ widmet sich der indische Romancier und Essayist Amitav Ghosh in seinem neuen Buch dem Schlafmohn und damit einer der wirkmächtigsten Pflanzen der Menschheitsgeschichte.
Opium als Stütze des britischen Kolonialregimes
In „Rauch und Asche“ beleuchtet Ghosh die kolonialen Hintergründe der Opiumerzeugung in Indien und beschreibt, wie Großbritannien den chinesischen Markt im 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert illegal mit dem verderbenbringenden Handelsgut überschwemmte, um sein Handelsdefizit auszugleichen.
Es gibt möglicherweise keine Wirtschaftspolitik, die jemals erfolgreicher umgesetzt worden ist als das Opiumprogramm de...

Using the novel as a starting point, in this solo episode I explore whether learning to love chimpanzees can help break down the human/animal divide, and how Boyle's portrayal of Sam the chimpanzee differs from other novels about animals. I also draw on Amitav Ghosh's The Nutmeg's Curse to argue for the importance of giving voice to...
