Abstract

The ongoing climate-ecological crisis is one of the worst threats to nature-humanity in the twenty-first century, the era of the Anthropocene. Global warming, climate change, ecological breakdown, pandemics (Ebola and Covid-19) and pollution are just some of the numerous manifestations of this crisis, which is studied in both established and emerging scholarly disciplines. As a relatively new field of studies, environmental humanities, situated within the broader tradition of public humanities, adopts an interdisciplinary approach and encompasses many subfields and theories, including ecocriticism.
