WiSe 18/19: Nature Writing: Romanticism and Environmentalism
Thomas Dikant
Kommentar
This seminar will introduce students to the study of the interactions between literature and the environment. We will first examine key ecocritical terms, such as nature, wilderness, pastoral, anthropocentrism, and biocentrism, through examples of contemporary nature writing and environmental studies. We will then look at exemplary texts in the U.S.-American literary tradition from Romanticism to the 21st century, focusing on how literature explores the possibility of a new relationship to nature. Authors will include Henry David Thoreau, Jack London, Willa Cather and Rachel Carson, as well as theoretical writings by Ursula Heise, Leo Marx, Lawrence Buell, and Rebecca Solnit. Schließen
