主題簡介

This presentation will explore the relationship between ecocriticism and ecotheology and argue for ways in which the environmental crisis has necessitated a reexamination of the secular assumptions that have shaped literary criticism and divided it from the study of sacred literature. Such a reexamination highlights the common strategies of ecocriticism and ecotheology and the postsecular potential of environmental literature today.
