Key words: new directions in ecocriticism, regional literature, regional studies, literary Nevada, place, caring for the environment, eco-cosmopolitanism, sense of place, sense of planet Regional studies and literary regionalism continue to fulfil important functions in the era of globalisation. Educating people (particularly those in parts of the world with a “self-image problem”) in the richness of local literary tradition can help them identify more strongly, through story, with the place they live in, and take care of it. Ecocritics must learn to work together with the curators of local history museums, people running community arts centres, and the members of writing circles. World citizenship and eco-cosmopolitanism do not obviate the need for a local sense of place. Palabras clave: nuevas tendencias de la ecocritica, literature regional, studios regionales, el Estado literario de Nevada, lugar, cuidado del medioambiente, eco-cosmopolitanismo, sentido de lugar, sentido de planeta Los estudios regionales y el regionalismo literario continúan realizando importantes funciones en la era de la globalización. Educar a la gente – en especial aquella en lugares del mundo con un “problema de imagen de sí mismo” – en la riqueza de la tradición literaria local puede ayudarles a identificarse más sólidamente, a través de historias, con el lugar en el que viven y a cuidar de él. Los/as ecocríticos/as deben aprender a trabajar con los conservadores de los museos de historia local, con la gente que dirige centros de arte comunitarios y con los miembros de los círculos de escritura. La ciudadanía mundial y el eco-cosmopolitanismo no obvian la necesidad de un sentido de lugar local.
Material Engagements: Science Studies and the Environmental Humanities
Authors: Alaimo Stacy 
Published: March 2020

Key words: materiality, natural world, humanities, ethical ecocriticism, agency In the twentieth century the principle tendency has been to denigrate the value of non-human nature. In this sense, scientific studies can help recover the materiality of the natural world for research in the humanities, especially when dealing with ecocriticism. Our current image of the environment has been deprived of its living beings and turned into an empty space at the disposal of humans. Natural sciences can provide theoretical and methodological models which can advance ethical and political projects of ecocriticism and encourage research that would consider the materiality of the non-human world, thereby restoring entity to the natural world. Twenty-first century environmental movements need to view the material and natural world as subjects with agency and not take for granted that these exist “somewhere out there.” Palabras clave: materia, naturaleza no humana, humanidades, ética ecocrítica, agencia En el siglo XX la tendencia fundamental hacia el medioambiente fue la de menospreciar el valor de la naturaleza no humana. En este sentido, los estudios científicos pueden ayudar a recuperar la materialidad del mundo natural para la investigación de las humanidades, especialmente en lo que concierne a la ecocrítica. El medioambiente actual ha sido privado de sus seres vivos y convertido en un espacio vacío a disposición del ser humano. Las ciencias naturales pueden aportar modelos teóricos y metodológicos que hagan avanzar los proyectos éticos y políticos de la ecocrítica, en definitiva, crear una investigación que considere la materialidad del mundo no humano: que devuelva entidad al mundo natural. Los movimientos medioambientalistas del siglo XXI deben contemplar el mundo material y natural como sujeto agente, pues no se puede dar por sentado que éstos existen “por ahí, en alguna parte.”
Repräsentationen der Ökologie
Authors: Bühler Benjamin 
Published: March 2020

Key words: politische Ökologie, Michel Foucault, Gouvernementalität, Repräsentation, narrative Verfahren, rhetorische Strategie, Regulationsmechanismen, Diskursformation, Poetologie ökologischen Wissens, kulturwissenschaftlich ausgerichtete Literaturwissenschaft ‘Political ecology’ has emerged since the 1970s as a powerful discursive formation embracing science, economy and politics. The key concepts with which it operates are System, Equilibrium and Regulation. Modelling, simulation, visual representation, narrative shaping and rhetorical strategies play a key role: dystopian visions of the future are for instance frequently used to justify the imposition of a more authoritarian social order. Literary ecocriticism possesses the necessary methodology for critical analysis of the discourse of political ecology, in practices combining historical contextualisation of representations of environmental problems with investigation of the ‘poetology of ecological knowledge’, examining lead metaphors, narratives and representational techniques. Palabras clave: ecología política, Michel Foucault, mentalidad gubernamental, representación, métodos narrativos, estrategias retóricas, mecanismos reguladores, formación del discurso, conocimiento de la poética ecológica, ciencias culturales frente a ciencias literarias. “La ecología política” apareció en los años 70 como una poderosa formación discursiva que abarca ciencia, economía y política. Los conceptos clave en los que se basa son Sistema, Equilibrio y Regulación. El modelismo, la simulación, la representación visual, la forma narrativa y las estrategias retóricas desempeñan un papel clave: por ejemplo las visiones distópicas del futuro suelen usarse para justificar la imposición de un orden social más autoritario. La ecocrítica literaria posee la metodología necesaria para el análisis crítico del discurso de la ecología poética, en las prácticas que combinan la contextualización histórica de las representaciones de problemas medioambientales con la investigación de la “poetología del conocimiento ecológico”, examinando las metáforas principales y las técnicas narrativa y de representación.
Notes toward an Ecological Conception of Bakhtin’s ‘Chronotope’
Authors: Müller Timo 
Published: March 2020

Key words: Bakhtin, chronotope, road, nature poetry, American novel, Robert Frost, Jack Kerouac, poetic interconnection Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of the ‘chronotope’ as a set of space-time relations characterising a particular genre, motif or period deserves the special attention of ecocritics. Bakhtin believed that literary texts help to sustain the vitality of their discursive, social and even natural environment: chronotopic motifs reflect, negotiate and emphasize the status of the environment in contemporary discourse. The ‘road’ illustrates how rivalling space-time configurations play out in twentieth-century literature. Typically imagined as a means of overcoming space and time in the novel, it has been for poets a site of awareness of the subject’s connections with the environment, and of reflections on their own past and future. Palabras clave: Bakhtin, cronotopo, carretera, poesía de la naturaleza, novela norteamericana, Robert Frost, Jack Kerouac, interconexión poetica. El concepto de “cronotopo” de Mikhail Bakhtin como un conjunto de relaciones espacio-tiempo que caracterizan un género, motivo o periodo en concreto, merece especial atención de la ecocrítica. Bakhtin creía que los textos literarios contribuyen a preservar la vitalidad de su ambiente discursivo, social e incluso del natural: los motivos cronotópicos reflejan, negocian y ponen de relieve la situación del medio ambiente en el discurso contemporáneo. La “carretera” ilustra cómo las configuraciones rivales de espacio-tiempo se agotan en la literatura del siglo veinte. Imaginada típicamente como una forma de superar el espacio y el tiempo en la novela, la carretera ha sido para los poetas un lugar de concienciación de las conexiones del sujeto con el entorno, y de reflexiones sobre sus propios pasados y futuros.

<b>"Blown away like apples by the fickle wind of the Twentieth Century”: Counterculture Resistance and the Wilderness Condition in Richard Brautigan’s <i>Trout Fishing in America</i></b> // Resistencia contracultural en <i>Trout Fishing in America</i>
Authors: Anderson Jill E 
Published: March 2020

Abstract Many critics consider Richard Brautigan’s 1967 novel Trout Fishing in America a coming-of-age account of a wayward, outsider narrator discovering that the pastoral mode is no longer viable in mid-century America. However, these readings often ignore Brautigan’s explicit political affinity and his conscious engagement with a specific setting—southern California in the mid- to late-60s. This paper explores Brautigan’s Counterculture ethic, which critiques the mindless prevalence of mainstream, middle-class America’s habit of consumption, production, and destruction of the natural world. Linking the lack of individual free will with the postwar technology boom, Brautigan engages with the natural landscape and in communities of one’s own making. As a result, the novel is peopled with alienated drop-outs, the victims of America’s technocracy. The “trout fishing in America” refrain, with its many incarnations, is one of the modes through which these characters’ operate within Counterculture principles, namely through their self-imposed poverty and criticism of the way America uses and abuses its citizens and the natural world. Resumen Muchos críticos consideran la novela de Richard Brautigan Trout Fishing in America (1967) un relato iniciático de un narrador forastero y obstinado que descubre que el modo pastoril ya no es viable en los Estados Unidos de mediados de siglo. Sin embargo, estas lecturas a menudo ignoran la afinidad política explícita de Brautigan y su compromiso consciente con un escenario específico - la California sureña de los últimos años de los años 60. Este ensayo explora la ética contracultural de Brautigan, que critica la preponderancia ciega de la clase media de los Estados Unidos y su hábito de consumo, producción y la destrucción del mundo natural. Conectando la falta de voluntad propia con el "boom" tecnológico posterior a la segunda guerra mundial, Brautigan se implica con el paisaje natural y en las comunidades de creación propia. Como resultado, la novela está llena de bohemios alienados, las víctimas de la tecnocracia estadounidense. El refrán "trout fishing in America," con sus muchas encarnaciones, es una de las formas en las que estos personajes actúan dentro de los principios contraculturales, concretamente a través de su pobreza auto-impuesta y del criticismo de la manera en que los Estados Unidos usan y abusan de sus ciudadanos y del mundo natural.
<b>Seeking Wild Eyre: Landscape and the Environment in Charlotte Brontë’s <i>Jane Eyre</i></b> // En busca de la salvaje Eyre: paisaje y medioambiente en <i>Jane Eyre</i> de Charlotte Brönte
Authors: Fuller Jennifer D 
Published: March 2020

Applying techniques from the growing field of ecocriticism, this article uses Jane Eyre to explore a growing environmental awareness among middle-class Victorians and demonstrate how their need to preserve a “wild” or “natural” landscape coincides with ideas of liberty and freedom prevalent in the novel. By looking at Jane’s changing interactions with and interpretations of the natural world, we can gain a better understanding of the value and interpretation of landscape to the Victorians. In Jane Eyre, Jane’s journeys continually lead her to finding a way to balance her human wants and needs with the “wildness” of the natural world. Resumen Aplicando técnicas del creciente campo de la ecocrítica, este artículo utiliza Jane Eyre para explorar una conciencia ambiental cada vez mayor entre los victorianos de clase media y demostrar cómo su necesidad de preservar un paisaje "salvaje" o "natural" coincide con las ideas de libertad en la novela. Al observar las interacciones cambiantes de Jane con el mundo natural y sus interacciones con éste, podemos comprender mejor el valor del paisaje y cómo se interpretaba en la época victoriana. En Jane Eyre, los viajes de Jane continuamente la llevan a encontrar una manera de equilibrar sus deseos y necesidades humanos con el "salvajismo" del mundo natural.
<b>"Let Fair Weather Bring Me Home: A Maltese Story"</b> // "Deja que el buen tiempo me traiga a casa: una historia de Malta"
Authors: Friggieri Oliver 
Published: March 2020

Let Fair Weather Bring Me Home: A Maltese Story (Excerpt from unpublished novel)Life in itself largely depends on one’s personal relationship with nature. Humankind develops as it discovers new modes of relating more efficiently with whatever surrounds it. Thus both the individual and the social aspects of such a condition greatly depend on each other. Let Fair Weather Bring Me Home is a Maltese novel which strives to portray such a bond in terms of what it entails to live in a traditional village far removed from the center of the country where nature had to succumb to a great extent to the dictates of culture, and mainly to technology. The descriptive element of the novel, as evinced in this excerpt, is meant not only to construct a context within which the villagers live, but also to suggest a sharp contrast with the modern city, impersonal, overcrowded, noisy and inevitably distant from spaces which are considered to be still undeveloped, namely still left in their primeval state. The depiction of such a way of life in such a village, inspired by an environment typical of Southern Europe, may seem to be simply an evocation of the past, as it originally is, but it also recognizes the fact that such a relationship with nature still survives in various parts of various countries. The essential message of the excerpt is that modern ecological considerations are necessarily the expression of humanity’s need to rediscover nature and to return to where it once belonged.
<b>Carnival Anthropocene: Myth and Cultural Memory in Monique Roffey's <i>Archipelago</i></b> // Antropoceno Carnaval: El mito y memoria cultural en <i>Archipelago</i> de Monique Roffey
Authors: Krieg C. Parker 
Published: March 2020

This essay examines the role of myth in and as cultural memory through a reading of the novel, Archipelago (2013), by the Trinidadian-British author Monique Roffey. Against conceptions of the Anthropocene as a break from the past—a break that repeats the myth of modernity—I argue that Roffey’s use of cultural memory offers a carnivalesque relation to the world in response to the narrative’s account of climate change trauma. Drawing on Bakhtin’s classic study of the carnival as an occasion for contestation and renewal, as well as Cheryl Lousely’s call for a “carnivalesque ecocriticism,” this essay expands on the recent ecocritical turn to the field of Memory Studies (Buell; Goodbody; Kennedy) to illustrate the way literature mediates between mythic and historical relations to the natural world. As literary expressions, the carnivalesque and the grotesque evoke myth and play in order to expose and transform the social myths which govern relations and administrate difference. Since literature acts as both a producer and reflector of cultural memory, this essay seeks to highlight the literary potential of myth for connecting past traumas to affirmational modes of political engagement. Resumen Este ensayo examina el papel del mito en y como memoria cultural analizando la novela Archipelago (2013), escrita por la autora trinitense-británica Monique Roffey. Frente a la idea del Antropoceno como una ruptura con el pasado—una ruptura que repite el mito de la modernidad—este trabajo argumenta que el uso de la memoria cultural de Roffey ofrece una relación carnavalesca con el mundo en respuesta al trauma del cambio climático detallado en la novela. Basando mi argumento en la teoría clásica de Bakhtin sobre el carnaval como una ocasión para la contestación y la renovación, así como la llamada de Cheryl Lousely por una “ecocrítica carnavalesca,” este ensayo amplía el reciente giro de la ecocrítica hacia el campo de los estudios de memoria (Buell; Goodbody; Kennedy) para ilustrar cómo la literatura media entre las relaciones míticas e históricas con el mundo natural. Como expresiones literarias, lo carnavalesco y lo grotesco evocan el mito y el juego para revelar y transformar los mitos sociales que gobiernan las relaciones y gestionan la diferencia. Ya que la literatura actúa tanto como productora y como espejo de la memoria cultural, este ensayo busca destacar el potencial literario del mito para conectar traumas del pasado con modos de compromiso político más afirmativos.
<b>La torpeza de Epitemeo. La discusión entre intervencionismo y <i>laissez-faire</i> a la luz del mito prometeico</b> // Epimetheus' Clumsiness. The Discussion between interventionism and <i>laissez-fairez</i> in the light of the Promethean myth
Authors: Garmendia Oihane 
Published: March 2020

Resumen El presente trabajo tiene como fin relanzar y repensar la discusión entre los defensores del intervencionismo y los defensores del no-intervencionismo partiendo del análisis del mito griego de Prometeo y Epimeteo que Platón recoge en el Protágoras. En dicho mito se dan dos visiones muy dispares de lo humano; en la primera, el humano es concebido como un animal frágil, y, en la segunda, como un ser dotado de cultura, alejado del resto de animales y cercano a la divinidad. Si bien el mito tiene su origen en la Antigüedad, esas dos caracterizaciones siguen vigentes en la discusión planteada, ya que los defensores de la no-intervención creen que el humano es frágil ante la naturaleza y no tiene las herramientas necesarias para intervenir en ella, y al contrario, los defensores de la intervención creen que el humano, al poseer cultura y ser una especie superior, puede y debe interferir en las relaciones que se dan en el mundo salvaje en interés de los animales y el ecosistema. Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze and rethink the traditional opposition between animalism and environmentalism taking into account the myth of Prometheus and Epimetheus that Plato tells in the Protagoras. According to the myth, a human can be conceived in two different ways: like a fragile animal or like an animal close to divinity. Despite the antiquity of the myth, we can perceive that these two visions of the human being are present in the discussion that we are trying to explain. In fact, the interventionists think that human beings have culture and for that reason they have to intervene in the relations between animals and environment. On the contrary, the advocates of non-intervention, either good or bad, think that human beings are equal to the other animals and for that reason they must not impose their wishes, and not only that, they also think that they have not enough intelligence to manipulate nature for the sake of animals nor of the ecosystem.
