Abstract:

What seem like “new” developments in Ecocriticism have actually been nascent, articulated in conversations and blogs, soon emerging in presentations and print over the past five or more years. Responding to climate change numbing, ecocritics have explored the potential “arithmetic of compassion” (Slovic & Slovic 2015) and the “caring exhaustion” that arises when the numbers of those suffering—humans, animals, ecosystems—becomes too high to encompass. Human responses to the increasingly frightening scenarios of climate change futures have been termed “eco-anxiety” and “eco-grief” (Hutner 2015; Ray 2019). New developments in ecocriticism arise through the nexus of econarratology, affective ecocriticism, empirical ecocriticism, and mindful /Zen ecocriticism. I discuss this continuing trajectory in ecocriticism, developing from econarrative through ecoaffect (approaches that describe readers’ responses to climate change narratives) and on to empirical and mindful / Zen ecocriticisms (approaches that seek to offer strategies for responding to climate change narratives through affect, activism, and contemplative approaches, and for evaluating the efficacy of those strategies).

Abstract:

AbstractThis review of publications in the field of ecocriticism in 2018 is divided into six sections: 1. Introduction: Anthropocene Timescales and Affects; 2. Affective Ecocriticism; 3. Material and Empirical Ecocriticisms; 4. Ecocriticism and Ecopoetics; 5. Ecocritical Convergences; 6. Conclusion. The review focuses on four single-authored monographs, three edited book collections, three journal issues, and three stand-alone articles. The biospheric urgencies of the Anthropocene and its cataclysmic signature—climate change—have attracted ecocritical attention to concerns of time, scale, and affect. In particular, 2018 marked the further maturation of material and queer ecocriticisms, the florescence of affective ecocriticism, and the germination of empirical ecocriticism. The field in 2018 explores, in depth, the role of affect—emotions, intensities, corporealities, and modes of relations—in the Anthropocene. All the while, confluences between affective, material, and queer ecocriticisms continue to broaden the scope of environmental affect to include ‘bad’ and irreverent modes. What’s more, new publications in material ecocriticism draw attention to environmental narratives as vehicles for concretizing the highly abstract spatiotemporalities of the Anthropocene whereas empirical ecocriticism applies qualitative methods to understanding the transformative potential of narratives. 2018 saw major studies of ecopoetics in addition to convergences between ecocriticism, animal studies, performance studies, crime fiction studies, and the environmental humanities. The year also brought the extension of ecocritical approaches to the genre of crime fiction and the literature of the Global South.

Abstract:

As one of the great Nature poems of Wordsworth, Tintern Abbey (1798) sheds light on the way Nature affects Wordsworth’s memory and enables him to reach mental growth through his philosophical interconnection with it. Through an ecocritical study of Tintern Abbey, the present paper aims to take the clash between the Yale School critics, the New Historicists, and the ecocritics into consideration to show how the contradictory views of the afore-mentioned critics led to a Green reading of the poem in the light of Ecocriticism. Key Words: Biospheric Egalitarianism, Wordsworthian Displacement, Regional Specificity, Metamorphosis, and Ecocriticism.

Abstract:

The task of the author’s project “ecology without nature” is to use deconstruction to counteract prevailing normative ideas about nature for the sake of sentient beings suffering under catastrophic environmental conditions. Timothy Morton sees in the very idea of nature itself one of the obstacles to truly ecological politics, ethics, philosophy, and art. He calls for a thorough study of how nature is defined as a transcendental, unified and independent category. The study of how art represents the environment makes it possible to see that “nature” is an arbitrary rhetorical construct, devoid of a truly independent existence outside or beyond texts about nature. The rhetoric of nature itself depends on an ambient poetics, that is directed toward the evocation of the surrounding atmosphere or the world through text. Morton shows that people at different periods of time put various ideological meanings into the concept of “nature”; the historicization of this poetics makes obvious its vacuity of inner being and independent value. The history of ambient poetics depends on certain forms of identity and subjectivity, which are also historical. Without stopping at historicization, the author calls for the politicization of ecological art and the use of the rhetorical effect of “nature” as a slogan in order to strengthen environmentalism. The ecological thinking that Morton calls for does not operate with “nature” as a kind of ready-made, ideological concept and thus emerges as an ecology “without nature”. On the other hand, a non-conceptual image in environmental literature can be a convincing point of attraction for an intensive conceptual system — namely, an ideological one.

Abstract:

Ecocriticism gained a growing interest from researchers and writers on different levels to examine the significance of this newly added area of literary studies. It enabled the readers to understand their society's environmental issues in a better way and encouraged them to deal with them positively. It also drew attention to the different negative behaviors and attitudes towards nature to the limit that may damage natural resources and affect future generations. Furthermore, ecocriticism played a vital role in restructuring a more balanced and harmonious relationship between human and non-human beings within society by building a peaceful coexistence among all members of society. This paper offers the necessary theoretical framework for ecocriticism and examines its mechanisms to analyze literary texts. The paper also testifies the relationship between ecocriticism and children's literature to show the best ways of using these children's books to build a robust background for those young generations and to form their attitudes toward natural resources for the betterment of all in a more sustainable society. Finally, the paper examines Dr. Seuss's The Lorax as an example of a children's book with many environmental references and educational lessons. The Lorax's story revolves around the Once-ler, who destroys the balance between nature and other factors through his insistence on mass-producing useless and environmentally harmful goods. Ecocritics used this story to expose different messages about environmental responsibility and the consequences of reckless attitudes toward natural resources. In this way, the paper encourages the importance of further studies on ecocriticism and the further enhancement of using children's books to increase environmental awareness.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to trace the global trends of ecocriticism, to present progress in Ukrainian literary studies in the field of ecocritical studies. The methodology of the publication is based on general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, and the tools of ecocriticism as aninterdisciplinary approach were also used. The result of the study is a presentation of the achievements of ecocriticism at various stages, starting from the emergence of new trends in the methodology in the 1970s to the modern stage. It is noted the role of researches of such scientists as: Cheryll Glotfelty, Michelle Belaev, Harold Fromm, Christopher Cocinos, Derek Gladwin and other. The periodization of ecocriticism is outlined (three waves of ecocriticism) (The Future of Environmental Criticism: Environmental Crisis andLiterary Imagination, 2005). It is noted a tendency to interpret ecocriticism as a science that creates a network of interdisciplinary connections in a number of studies of the early 2000s. (Terrel Dixon (2002). City Wilds: Essays and Stories about Urban Nature; John Tallmadge (2004). The Cincinnati Arch: Learning from Nature in the City). Considerations about the specifics of the third wave of ecocriticism are considered (Marshall, 2005; Slovic, 2010). It is noted that over the thirty years of ecocriticism asa separate discipline, a qualitative transition has occurred from ecocriticism characterized by ecofetishism, romanticism, discursive feminism, to ecocosmopolitanism, ecocultural studies, ecofeminism, "green" gender theories, etc. The opinion about the new wave of ecocriticism - planetary is singled out(S. Slovic, 2012). The achievements of ecocriticism in Ukrainian literary studies are consideredStudies dedicated to the research of foreign literature are singled out. It is noted that ecocritical trends can also be traced in various types of fine art. Attention to ecocritical studies is evidenced by such humanities as pedagogy, philosophy, journalism, cultural studies, and others. The conclusions emphasize that the systematized material presents the relevance of ecocritical studies.

Abstract:

This research examines Claude McKay De Lisser’s novel Jane’s Career and selected poems by Derek Walcott in the context of Caribbean cultural history, contemporary situations, and environmental contexts using ecocritical methods. This study investigates the effects of the second wave of ecocritics, who expanded the definition of “environment” to encompass urban landscapes, drawing inspiration from Caribbean peoples’ deep connection to their surroundings. This study uses ecocriticism to examine how humans and nature influence the urban environment, including built and undeveloped spaces. Human culture is contextualised within the urban natural environment to examine characters’ environmental views and behaviours. This study covers a range of nature attitudes, from exploitative to pro-nature. Ecocriticism clarifies Caribbean literature’s complex relationship between nature and culture. This scholarly investigation invites readers to better comprehend and appreciate these literary works by examining their motifs of environmental exploitation and harmonious cohabitation. Thus, this work enriches ecocritical studies by offering new insights into Caribbean literature and ecological challenges.

Abstract:

Ecocriticism is an important theory among the new critical theories. Its formal inception in Western literature can be seen after the eighth decade of the last century. It took a long time to establish itself and gain acceptance there. Ecocritics were able to fully explain and use it in literature only after the 1990s.The term Ecology emerged in the middle of the 19th century. The name of German Biologist Ernst Haeckel is associated with this term.Ecology studies the relationship of living organisms with the environment and the ways they cope with it. When the term Ecology was used in literary criticism, it became known as eco-criticism. In Urdu, it has been translated as environmental literary criticism.Initially, Cheryll Glotfelty is credited with promoting this theory, and she is also considered the first American Ecocritic. According to Cheryll, environmental literary criticism is the study of the relationship between environment and literature. Just as feminist studies studied literature based on gender differences and Marxist criticism examined literature from a class perspective, Ecocriticism is based on earth-centered studies. In this context, literature, culture, and environment are of fundamental importance.Environmental literary criticism is different in every way from its contemporary movements that focus on the individual and society. The biggest driver of ecocriticism is the threats to nature. This theory not only describes the relationship between literature and the environment, but also takes into account the things that humans have associated with nature.Ecocriticism applies ecological concepts to literature. It studies the system of relationships between human culture and nature that is based on equality and mutual respect rather than the dominance or monopoly of one. Ecocriticism considers the atmosphere, environment, natural landscapes, culture, lifestyle, methods, locality, and rural environment present in literature and the way they are described. The preferences of environmental literary criticism include exploring indigenous and local characteristics in literature, identifying the threats they face, and proposing solutions to them. The theory of environmental literary criticism was introduced in Urdu literature in the 21st century. The first novel written in the context of ecocriticism is "Pagal Khana" by Hijab Imtiaz Ali.

Abstract:

Ecocriticism has gained visibility in Turkish academia in the early 2000s. This essay offers a brief analysis of the status of the field in Turkey and sheds light on the growing interest in ecology in both academic and non-academic circles. I first overview the academic conventions and publications that provided the initial momentum for the birth of Turkish ecocriticism. I examine past and current trends in ecocritical studies by surveying the latest academic publications, literary works and traditions that lend themselves to ecocritical analyses, and specific ecological questions pertinent to Turkey’s geography. I then address future directions for research in the field and investigate the expanding interest in ecology across different disciplines such as film, visual arts and media. I conclude the essay by highlighting the interdisciplinary platforms that bring together researchers and practitioners to enable new forms of environmental criticism and activism at a time of immense neoliberal growth.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to present a synoptic picture of the development and current state of ecocriticism in Poland. Understood in the generic sense of the study of literature and environment, ecocriticism had begun in Poland already in 1970s and has since then generated its own original tradition. Understood in the specific historical sense of a field devoted to the study of literature and environment that was consolidated in the 1990s in the USA and the UK and has then expanded both in disciplinary and national terms, ecocriticism was imported to Poland only in the beginning of the 21st century, but has managed do generate its own tradition as well. For a while, both these currents of Polish ecocriticism had run in parallel to one another, but have recently merged, stimulating new exciting developments. The paper will delineate these historical trajectories and recent developments alike. And it will also show how today’s Polish ecocriticism contributes to ecocriticism globally, not only by offering its own culturally unique perspective and archives, but also by proposing new methodologies, including so-called empirical ecocriticism, an emerging field that originates in part from Poland.

Abstract:

Geguritan (Javanese poetry) is a fascinating literary work to study from various perspectives, one of which is from the perspective of ecocriticism. Ecocriticism examines environmentally oriented criticism of literary works. This research examines ecocriticism in the geguritan "Sendhang Tirta Panggesangan," created by S. Wignya Raharja. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. The data in this research is in the form of sentences in the "Sendhang Tirta Panggesangan" geguritan. The data collection technique used was the literature study technique, which involved studying reference sources from similar articles regarding literary ecocriticism. The data analysis technique used is content analysis, which is carefully reading the geguritan and analyzing it using literary ecocriticism. The results of the research show that there is ecocriticism contained in the "Sendhang Tirta Panggesangan" geguritan in the form of a depiction of the sendhang environment, which has been polluted and is no longer natural as a result of human activities.

Abstract:

In an era defined by mounting environmental crises and an expanding awareness of the urgent imperative for sustainability, ecocriticism has emerged as a pivotal discourse uniting literature, culture, and environmental advocacy. This research paper investigates the ever-evolving terrain of ecocriticism, charting its evolution from its origins as a conversational and theoretical movement to its current status as a driving force behind conservation efforts. By examining the dynamic interplay between literature, culture, and the environment, this paper delves into the evolution of ecocriticism over time and its significant role in promoting ecological awareness and spurring action. It provides a thorough analysis of the historical progression of ecocriticism, tracing its origins in literary criticism and its expansion into a multidisciplinary approach encompassing various media and cultural forms. The paper discusses the key theoretical frameworks that have shaped the field and highlights the contributions of influential eccritics. Moreover, this research emphasizes the practical applications of ecocriticism in furthering environmental conservation efforts. It explores case studies and real-world examples where ecocriticism has played a central role in raising environmental consciousness and promoting sustainable practices. The paper argues that ecocriticism has moved beyond theoretical discourse to become a potent force in safeguarding the planet, illustrating how literature and culture can effectively address the urgent environmental challenges of our era.

Abstract:

The term ‘ecocriticism’ was coined by William Rueckert in 1978 and it was popularized by Cheryll Glotfelty through her 1996 work The Ecocriticism Reader. According to her, ecocriticism is the study of the relationship between literature and nature or the physical environment. Ecocriticism later turned out to be a pivotal area in literary theory. The theory posits that human beings are inherently related to nature. They are dependent on nature in one way or another. For example, air, water, food etc. are inevitable aspects for man. In the same way, nature too is dependent on man.

Understanding the relationship between humans and nature, in the spirit of ecological humanism, non-anthropocentrism, philosophy of respect for life, and respect for “place” has brought ecocriticism to a new level in literary research. Ecocriticism elevates nature to the level of humans in the symbiotic relationship of coexistence in today's turbulent universe, especially with the threat of an increasingly harsh human living environment (drought, flood, earthquake, disease, etc.). Applying the theory of ecocriticism when studying classic literary works of the world helps scientists reconsider the concept of classical authors on the relationship between the natural environment and humans. With statistical analysis and comparative methods, we use ecological criticism theory to study some Southern Vietnamese novels of the early 20th century, especially the aspect of spiritual ecological complexity.

Abstract:

This essay is an attempt to present a broader view of ecocriticism in Africa. Ecocriticism, in theory and practice, appears to have limited itself to the notion of environmental justice, with the aim of raising consciousness against institutional powers behind ecological crises. The reason for this is not far-fetched. International scholarship on African ecocriticism tends to focus on the activism of the Kenyan Wangari Mathai and the Nigerian Ken Saro-Wiwa; and on the fiction of a few writers concerned with environmentalism and conservation. This kind of ecocriticism, under the rubric of postcolonialism, is, in my view, narrow, too human-centred, and should, in fact, be decentred for an all-inclusive mapping of African ecocriticism. I attempt to shift this paradigm by foregrounding a narrative that stages the role and agency of nonhuman and spiritual materiality in practices that demonstrate nature-human relations since the pre-colonial period. I argue that for a proper delineation of the theory and practice of ecocriticism in Africa, attention should be paid to literary and cultural artefacts that depict Africa’s natural world in which humans sometimes find themselves helpless under the agency of other-than-human beings, with whom they negotiate the right path for the society. I conclude by making the point that a recognition of this natural world, and humans’ right place in it, is crucial to any ecocritical project that imagines an alternative to the present human-centred system.

Abstract:

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania often tend to be grouped together under the label of ’the Baltic countries’, yet they constitute a region characterised by a diversity which also manifests itself in the field of academic research. Still, it may be possible to detect some common elements in the ecocriticism-related activities that have been taking place in these states during the past couple of decades. The article maps the salient tendencies in the environmental humanities (including ecocriticism) of the region that recently gained an institutionalised platform in the form of the Baltic Conferences on the Environmental Humanities and Social Sciences (BALTEHUMS) that were started in 2018. A survey is given of the three countries’ most significant events and publications that have boasted an ecocritical component, ecocriticism’s institutional representation and inclusion of ecocritical issues in university syllabuses and theory textbooks, as well as some pertinent topics and sub-fields on which the scholars in these countries are currently working. Among these, various aspects of the connections of literature and the ecosystems of the forest (trees) and the mire can be noticed; while also animal studies, literary urban studies, bio- and ecosemiotics and environmental history appear to have entered a fruitful dialogue with ecocritical scholarship currently conducted in the Baltics.

Abstract:

Art is subversive when it crosses the boundary of the generally acceptable, though over time such art can and does become mainstream. A much more complicated question is what is subversive in aesthetics? Ecocriticism has already become, along with ecofeminism and animal studies, an academic discipline. It can be defined as subversive if it is understood in terms of an attitude, which is not anthropocentric. And here is the catch: how can the human also encompass the alien? The question that emerges here is all but rhetorical: how can we decentre and amplify our human consciousness and perspective to include zoocentric, biocentric or geocentric positions? At this point the contemporary theory creates contrasting opinions, which cross the boundaries of aesthetics, poetics and ecocriticism since they reach out to the fields of metaphysics and antimetaphysics. Within the phenomenon of perception the other always appears, as Deleuze said in his Logic of Sense, as “a priori Other”. We have to deal, henceforth, with a kind of pre-reflexive level of consciousness and amplified sensory perception, which, as we know, is the basic condition of artistic creation. Thus, this paper – because it seeks to penetrate into the node of these questions – takes literary art as its starting point. In the spirit of the above-mentioned observations, I have attempted to investigate in ‘minority literature’ (female authors of contemporary Polish and Slovene literature) how this decentred attitude, which Jure Detela, a Slovene poet, poetically defined, corresponds to our thesis on a particular ecocritical stream, which can be defined as an ecofeminist aesthetics. The ‘minoritarian literature’ here is meant exclusively in the sense that was defined by Deleuze and Guattari’s books Kafka and A Thousand Plateaus.
