Abstract

Abstract: Ecoriticism is one of the most recent trends in literary criticism. Ecocriticism
is critical of the ignorance and absence of nature, environment, and the environmental
crisis in literary studies. The pioneer ecocritics argue that this indifference of the literary
studies is mainly due to the dominant anthropocentric worldview in literary studies.
Key Words: Ecocriticism, anthropocentric, nature, environment, environmental crisis,
literature.
Ekoeleştirinin Ortaya Çıkışında Öncü Ekoeleştirmenlerin Edebiyat Eleştirisi

 

Özet: Edebiyat alanındaki yeni eğilimlerden biri de ekoeleştiridir. Ekoeleştiri edebiyat
alanındaki doğa, çevre ve çevre krizlerine olan ilgisizlikten yakınır. Bu alandaki öncü ekoeleştirmenler de, edebiyat alanındaki bu ilgisizliğin alanda egemen olan insanmerkezli
görüş yüzünden kaynaklandığını ileri sürerler.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Ekoeleştiri, insanmerkezli, doğa, çevre, çevresel felaketler, edebiyat.

Keywords
