Ecocriticism

Ecocriticism is a literary and cultural analysis that explores the relationship between literature and the environment. It examines how nature is represented in texts and how these representations shape our understanding of ecological issues. By analyzing themes like nature, humanity’s impact on the earth, and environmental ethics, ecocriticism encourages us to reflect on our connection to the natural world. It often aligns with environmental aesthetics, which studies the beauty and value of nature, urging readers to appreciate and care for the environment through a deeper understanding of cultural narratives and artistic expressions related to ecology.
