Environmental criticism

Environmental criticism is an academic approach that analyzes how literature, art, and culture depict the environment, nature, and human interactions with the natural world. It examines themes related to ecological awareness, environmental justice, and the impact of human activity on the planet. By understanding these representations, it aims to raise awareness about environmental issues, challenge destructive attitudes, and explore our relationship with nature. This approach encourages critical thinking about how cultural works reflect, influence, and can inspire changes in our views and behaviors toward the environment.
