A Brief Account of American Eco-criticism--Origin, Development Course and Reflection
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Beginning in the 70s and 80s of the last century, American eco-criticism is the product of increasingly serious environmental crisis. It comes into researchers’ view with various titles such as green cultural studies, environmental literary criticism, and natural history of reading and so on. Despite their diverse definitions, they still share some common characteristics. The main theoretical sources of eco-criticism are land ethics, anti-anthropocentrism and deep ecology. After experiencing different development stages, eco-criticism is gradually forming an open system during the process of scholars’ continual reflection. Keywords: American eco-criticism; definitions; theoretical basis; development course; reflection.
