| Title |
Introduction to Ecocriticism (BA FS Seminar: Literature) |
| Description |
Shortly summarised, ecocriticism is “the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment” (Glotfelty 1996). Since its beginnings in the 20th century, ecocriticism has become a highly interdisciplinary field, and responds to current issues concerning environmentalism, sustainability, and (social) ecology.
In this course, we will look at different branches of ecocriticism, such as animal studies, the blue humanities, and ecofeminism, and try out different readings of our primary texts (tbc) through the lenses of various ecocritical approaches. As such, the readings will include theoretical inputs, which we will apply in our close readings. At the end of the course, students will be familiar with different strands of ecocriticism and their specific terminology, and will be able to apply the concepts to other texts.
Required Reading: To be communicated later. |
