Cíle předmětu
AJ25024: Environmental Literature This course focuses on North American environmental literature, with an emphasis on contemporary authors. It is an interdisciplinary course that explores the interconnections of literature, history and ecology. The readings include fiction as well as nonfiction and explore a variety of geo-cultural regions throughout the US and Canada. An optional field work project has been integrated into the syllabus. Among the questions that this course poses are the following: How does our view of the nonhuman world affect our reading of literature? How does our view of literature affect our reading of the nonhuman world? What is the relation between environmental experience and literary representation of the environment? How do our metaphors of the land influence the way we treat it? How have North American writers responded to their landscapes? What kinds of environmental writing are there? To address these and other related issues, we will discuss works by Margaret Atwood, Annie Dillard, Linda Hogan, Barry Lopez, Gloria Naylor, Ron Rash, Eden Robinson, Scott Russell Sanders, Alice Walker, and Thomas Wharton.
