This special issue contributes to the emergent discourse by engaging with
the evolving symbiotic orientation in ecocriticism, the figure of the ecowitch as a
resilient and regenerative ecofeminist agent of planetary healing, and the role of
symbiotic posthuman narratives in reimagining life beyond the human. It argues that
the figure of the ecowitch –both real and fictional– is emblematic of the imaginative,
ethical and epistemological reconfigurations demanded by a world in ecological
precariousness and peril. Situated at the intersection of symbiosis, resistance, and
repair, the ecofeminist ecowitch becomes not only a metaphor but an epistemic site
of posthuman convergence, a visionary force in the Symbiocene, fostering ecological
reparation and resisting systemic eco-social injustices. Through her alliance with the
more than human, as it will be shown in the different contributions, the possibility
of earth repair is not only envisioned –it is ritualized, storied and enacted.
