Social Consciousness in Society: A Literary Study of Ecocritical Perspectives in Global Writing

Author(s): Preeti Sharma

Abstract:

In recent decades, the environment has become a major threat to human civilization and Mother Earth. Natural resource misuse is so pervasive that we are about to go down the drain. Our ecology is already in danger; the world's rainforests are disappearing; the supply of fossil fuels is rapidly running out; the seasonal cycle is out of balance; and ecological disasters are occurring more regularly. In the last years of the previous century, a fresh philosophy of nature-Ecocriticism-emerged in response to these conditions. The anthropocentric tendency of man to dominate nature is what gave rise to this global movement. This paper aims to investigate ecocritical perspectives as they are envisioned in a variety of international literary works. By emphasizing the environment in literature, this analysis fosters readers' ecological literacy and consciousness, enabling them to take good care of Mother Nature. In the little time since it was originally introduced, ecocriticism has grown rapidly, given the significance of the environment today. It's an approach to reading nature writing that's often linked to environmental criticism.
