Beschreibung
In this book a renewed hermeneutics emerges from the transatlantic relationships between Spain and Latin America. For this book reconnects indigenous knowledge to Western thought; Amazonian, Andean, and African traditional wisdom to European contemporary ecological agenda; Cultural Studies to global environmental awareness.
Hispanic Ecocriticism finds a rich soil in the main topics of environmental concern in the literature of Latin America and Spain, not only as a source for renewing critical analysis and hermeneutics, but also for the benefit of global environmental awareness. In a renewed exchange of transatlantic relationships, Hispanic Ecocriticism intermingles Latin American ecocritical issues of interest — the oil industry; contamination of forests and rivers; urban ecologies; African, Andean, and Amazonian biocultural ecosystems — with those of interest in Spain — animal rights and the ecological footprints of human activity in contemporary narratives of eco-science fiction, in dystopias, and in literature inspired by natural or rural landscapes that conceal ways of life and cultures in peril of extinction.
