ESS 204 - Environmental Writing and Eco-Criticism4 credits
This course introduces ecocriticism, the study of literature and the environment, alongside American environmental writing. With readings ranging widely from traditional nature writing to multi-ethnic U.S. fiction, the course addresses questions such as: How does environmental writing both reflect and shape values and attitudes about the human relationship with our environment? What kinds of questions does ecocriticism raise and how do different ecocritical strains approach literary, philosophical, and ethical questions in different ways? How is our understanding of the physical environment impacted by discourses of nature, race, gender, class, and location? Equivalent: ENGH 204 CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity US, CLA-Writing Intensive
