Abstract

The text is a review of Aleksandra Ubertowska’s book, Historie biotyczne. Pomiędzy estetyką a geo­traumą [Biotic histories. Between aesthetics and geotrauma]. The starting point becomes the biocentric lens applied by the researcher and the geo­story behind it. Equally interesting and important are the possibilities of ecocritical theories in interpretation and their application in the Polish ground.
