Kommentar/Beschreibung

Although few people think of the USA in terms of its relationship to environmental and nature issues, the country has a rich tradition of writing on the subject. This class will explore a selection of influential texts that address a variety of problems falling within this field. Through close readings and critical analysis, students will explore how literature expresses attitudes towards nature, ecology, and humanity's relationship with the environment. In this way, they will uncover the interconnectedness between literature and environmental thinking, gaining insights into pressing ecological concerns and the evolving literary responses to them. The class will thus provide opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of environmental writing while practicing and refining their literary analysis skills.
