Cíle předmětu
The course will explore relations of particular places and global systems in environmentalism from the 1960s, i.e. the time of the emergence of the green movement, until the present. We will examine a variety of images and texts including novels, essays and cultural theory and discuss what different ‘cultures of nature’ can be discerned when working with different histories, genres and art forms from across the globe. While looking at how notions of both ‘nature’ and place are represented and dramatized in selected narratives, we will be concerned with some of the key theoretical and conceptual issues underpinning the field of both environmental and postcolonial studies. What, after all, do we mean when we speak of ‘nature’ and ‘the environment’? Whose environment, and who gets to speak? We will explore the often closely intertwined issues of environmental degradation and colonialism and look at how unstable notions of ‘ecology’ and ‘conservation’ can be engaged from the Global South. While discussing these issues, we will also consider what questions of slow violence, deep time and the non-human do to literary form. Reading will include (extracts from) work by Wendell Berry, Andrew McMurry, Gary Snyder, William Cronon, Ursula Heise, David Harvey, Rob Nixon, Amitav Ghosh, Kim Scott, Deborah Bird Rose, and Stephen Muecke.
