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.
