Beaches and Ports

Beaches and ports are cultural and geological contact zones, spaces of both pleasure and precarity. The former often signify the hedonistic suspension of work, while the latter suggest sites of proletarian labor, but contributors to this special issue complicate this opposition. They elucidate points of connection between these seemingly disparate spaces, and in doing so, shed light on possible new avenues for comparative literature and the environmental humanities.
