ECOCRITICAL LITERARY STUDIES, TRANSDISCIPLINARITY AND CHILEAN LITERATURE

Abstract

Ecocriticism demarcates a set of investigative practices which are characterized by the experimental dialogue among literary studies, environmental ethics, science, humanities, and ecological thought. We understand ecocriticism as a territory of conflict and interpenetration of heterogeneous knowledge and practices, as a process of heterogenesis (Guattari). This article develops an approach to ecocritical literary studies based upon some Chilean research.
