Resumen

Este artículo presenta una lectura detallada del libro de poemas de Haunani Kay Trask (Light in the Crevice Never Seen) y de la obra de teatro de Komal Swaminathan Thaneer! Thaneer! (Water! Water! en su traducción al inglés). Ambos textos revelan paisajes de Hawái y la India en los que escasea y que cuentan historias de la colonización de las poblaciones locales. Al hacerlo, ponen en evidencia una cierta hidropolítica que revela cómo la contaminación y la escasez del agua son el resultado de su comercialización por parte del capital global que ha saqueado los sistemas ecológicos y el hábitat de todas las especies del planeta. Finalmente, este artículo resalta cómo escritores como Trask y Swaminathan pueden captar activamente la atención de sus lectores sobre las fronteras ambientales alcanzadas por dichas políticas y ayudarlos a reimaginar alternativas para el futuro.
