Offer Description Postdoctoral position for the ERC CoG 2021 project: Ocean Crime Narratives: A Polyhedral Assessment of Contemporary Sea Narratives on Environmental Harm and Crime (1982-present) - OCN, led by PI Dr. Marta Puxan-Oliva at the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), located in Mallorca.
This is a 2.5-year position, from 1/04/2025 to 30/09/2027 where the fellow will undertake specialized research to interrogate the underpinning justice and legal ideas of the hegemonic international discourses in scientific and policy-making reports and legal texts regulating environmental harm and crime at sea.
The candidate needs to have knowledge and/or interest in Green Criminology and Public International Law.
This research is part of an interdisciplinary project OCN, involving research on literature and film studies, public international law, green criminology, political ecology, and oceanography.
Here is the project summary: "With the latest international Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982), narratives on environmental crimes and harms at sea have changed their views of ocean governance, sustainability, and human rights, shaping an international, hegemonic discourse.
A growing, under-examined corpus of contemporary literary and filmic narratives discusses environmental criminality at sea as subject to contested international and state jurisdiction, harmful to oceanic sustainability and threatening human rights.
Literature and film are part of the discourse around environmental crime at sea, since policymakers, lawyers, and scientists are its main producers.
OCN responds to this challenge with three objectives: 1) to analyze the narratives around environmental crime and harm at sea in a new corpus of post-1982 literature and film; 2) to conduct a novel narrative analysis of environmental sea crime and harm discourses; 3) to produce a polyhedral assessment of hegemonic, international discourse on environmental crime and harm at sea today.
We seek dynamic, creative, and participative candidates who are genuinely interested in the project's topic and engaged in dialogue, with an interest in working at an international, high-quality level.
