About eco-poetics and active reading

Abstract

The contemporary humanities are facing another crisis and need to take up a significant task – through education and critical reading of texts, the humanities have to clarify not only the understanding of such categories as anthropocene, capitalocene, and ecopoetics, or ecocriticism, but also create an active change in thinking and acting. The present article is an attempt at undertaking those challenges by reading into the above-mentioned threads in contemporary literature and trying to propose solutions that would make students sensitive to the content of nature. I discuss reading strategies and interpretation models that include such mechanism of reading literary texts in which ecologically engaged literature influences the perception and understanding of the world around us, thereby becoming literature participating in social processes.
