In an era of unprecedented global connectivity and ecological crises, the concept of “place” has been profoundly transformed within post-colonised communities. This study examines how literature, specifically Uzma Aslam Khan’s Thinner Than Skin (2012), as a medium can revive the sense of place, particularly the place sense redefined by the experiences of post-colonial eco-social catastrophes, as a dialogical co-habitation of human-non-human environment in mainstream academia. This study, at first, moves beyond the Western perception of place as an isolated source of individual identity. It then engages with the recent scholarships on “eco-cosmopolitanism” and political ecology of the global South to show how the forces of (neo)colonial-capitalist modernity and consequent eco-social crises in Pakistan were registered both in Khan’s experimental narrative content and style. This study argues that Khan’s novel employs a “post-colonial eco-cosmopolitan” approach, focusing on the fluidity of place-based identities and the challenges of narrating a post-colonial sense of place in the zones of conflict, catastrophes, and crises. Finally, this study contends that when socio-ecological crises affect various aspects of life—body, home, society, and environment—local cultural practices like oral story-telling, folklore sharing, and traditional rituals serve as sources of collective memory, providing inner stability amid external turmoil.
