Literature, Nature, and Ecology: An Ecopoetic Approach to Contemporary French, Germanophone, Anglophone, and Italian Narrative Prose
The project entails an ecopoetic inquiry into literary fiction on nature and ecology as a transcultural problem area within four interacting cultural regions (French, Germanophone, Anglophone, Italian). Central to this text-oriented approach are (1) the role of the literary imagination, (2) the focus on textual complexity (rhetoric) and (3) the ten-sion between the global nature of the problem and culture-bound issues.
