ECOCRITICAL APPROACHES TO LITERATURE: ECOPOETRY AND ELİF SOFYA

Abstract

The goal of this study is to shed light on the field of ecocriticism, which studies the relationship between literature and the environment, and to emphasize its importance for contemporary Turkish literature. First, we will discuss how ecocriticism emerged as a field in the 1990s and explain the different areas of study it includes. We will then elaborate on the similarities and differences between econarratives and nature writing in order to underscore the scope and the purpose of the ecocritical approach. In the final two parts of our essay, we will particularly focus on ecopoetry and the tradition of ecopoetics, and offer a reading of the contemporary poet Elif Sofya’s work, Dik Âlâ, from an ecopoetic perspective. We will conclude the article by stressing the increasing importance of ecocriticism around the world and calling attention to the need for ecological readings of Turkish literature.
