Eco-criticism

Eco-criticism is a way of studying literature and culture that focuses on how the environment, nature, and human interactions with the natural world are represented and understood. It explores how texts reflect ecological concerns, environmental issues, and our relationship with the planet. By examining these themes, eco-criticism encourages awareness of ecological impact and promotes a deeper understanding of our connection to nature. Essentially, it considers literature as a lens to better understand environmental values and challenges, fostering more sustainable and respectful attitudes toward the earth.
