Defining Ecocritical Theory and Practice
Defining Ecocritical Theory and Practice Sixteen Position Papers from the 1994 Western Literature Association Meeting Salt Lake City, Utah--6 October 1994. _____. Introduction The word "ecocriticism" traces back to William Rueckert's 1978 essay "Literature and Ecology: An Experiment in Ecocriticism" and apparently lay dormant in critical vocabulary until the 1989 Western Literature Association meeting (in Coeur d'Alene), when Cheryll Glotfelty (at the time a graduate student at Cornell, now Assistant Professor of Literature and the Environment at the University of Nevada, Reno).
I don't often think of the work I do as ecocriticism, but at some level I suppose it is. I'm interested in place, how we place ourselves in the world and the biological, social, and political ways in which we define where we are. My work of necessity is interdisciplinary, and grows more so with every class I teach.
