Description: In this course you will learn to view literature in a new way. The Ecocritical approach, born out of our current environmental crisis, focuses on the environment, especially on the depiction of nature and animals. It has been said that the problems we are facing now have been caused by man?s ego- (not eco-) centered view of the environment. This anthropomorphic view of our planet comes from a Medieval world-view where Nature was thought to have created for the use of humans. This helps to explain the exploitation of the natural world, especially by the Conquistadores in Latin America. In this course we will see how literature in Spain, Central America, and Latin America that has been written throughout the centuries, reflects the sources and consequences of this view.
