Digital Desk: Climate change fiction (cli-fi) has recently become highly widespread as climate change and global warming issues have risen to prominence in numerous industries around the world.
A conference was conducted at the Assam Engineering Institute's Ground in Chandmari to kick off a conversation in Assam about climate change fiction (cli-fi) and to go over the contributions of Indian writers and novelists to this genre in depth.
Today in Jonaki Hall, Assam Book Fair, a panel session on "Climate Change Fiction (Cli-Fi): Representation of Global Warming in Literature and Imagination of the Future of Climate Change" was held.
Dr. Rahul Mahanta, eminent novelist-physician Dr. Nandita Devi, writer-critic-translator-professor Dr. Rakhi Kalita Moral, writer-translator-professor Dr. Mary Barua, and storyteller-writer-professor Juri Barua attended as panellists, although the Center for Environment and Climate Action Foundation (CECAF) and Cotton University's Interdisciplinary Climate Research Center (ICRC). Dr. Vijay Krishna Chetia, an author, scholar, and environmentalist, hosted the event.
The panellists covered a variety of subjects, including why climate fiction writers write about climate change, how effectively the dystopia category reflects climate change and alternative urban futures, and how Indian writers are speaking out about climate change.
