Paul Giles, Challis Chair of English Literature at the University of Sydney, has an interest in how the politics of nature are represented in the work of contemporary writers and artists, with particular reference to how digital technology coalesces with natural phenomena in the work of David Foster Wallace, Donna Haraway and Patricia Piccinini, as well as in interactions among environmental, animal and human consciousness in the fiction of J. M. Coetzee. His current long-term research project, “Antipodean America,” considers ways in which alternative discourses of nature circulate across a transnational and hemispheric axis.
