Nature and the Environment in French-Speaking Cultures

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Explores the representations, thoughts and the position of human beings within their natural environment in the arts (literature, theatre, film, paintings) from the 16th century to the present. Through key concepts such as the anthropocene and the nature-culture dualism, and by using theoretical approaches such as eco/geocriticism and ecofeminism, exposes students to new ways of understanding how we can critically and sensitively re-imagine the environmental humanities today and into the future.
