Environmental Studies 352 - Contemporary Literature and the Environment

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

A study of the contemporary literary response to rising national interest in the natural world and rising awareness about the danger to natural resources. Readings are predominantly in prose (novels and essays), with some poetry included. Among the questions the authors ask: as we approach the natural world, how can we move beyond metaphors of dominion? What are the biases of gender, geography and culture that we bring to our inquiry? What is the relationship between the human and the "natural"? Whatdoes it mean to fully invest ourselves in our local environment? Prerequisite: Environmental Studies 101. Also offered as English 352 and through Outdoor Studies.
