Cheryll Glotfelty & Harold Fromm.  \n• The Environmental Imagination (1995)– Lawrence Buell.  \nDAK SH ITA SINGH  \n• Earlier literary theories: focused on class, race, gender, region.  \n• Late 20th century: rise of ecological consciousness due to:  \n• Pollution, deforestation, extinction, nuclear threats, population explosion, exploitative technologies, global warming.  \n• Shift from Anthropocentrism (human-centered) to:  \n• Biocentrism (all life forms matter) .  \n• Ecocentrism (ecosystem-centered worldview) .  \nDAK SH ITA SINGH  \nCentral Questions of Ecocriticism  \n• How is nature represented in literature?  \n• What role does setting/landscape play in shaping narrative structure?  \n• How do metaphors of land/nature influence human ethics and politics?  \n• How does science & technology (e.g., genetic engineering, industrialization) impact ecological balance and literary imagination?  \nDAK SH ITA SINGH  \nTypes of Eco-Criticism  \n• Pastoral Eco-Criticism  \n• Pastoral criticism now sees the rural and the urban as interconnected ecosystems. It critiques how nostalgia for a “lost rural paradise” often ignores actual labor, class struggles, and ecological realities.  \n• Feminist Eco-Criticism (Ecofeminism)  \n• Links patriarchal oppression of women to exploitation of nature.  \n• Modern ecofeminists critique stereotypes while highlighting women’s environmental activism.  \n• Postcolonial Eco-Criticism  \n• Examines how colonialism and imperialism shaped environmental exploitation. Looks at the intersection of ecological issues with race, class, and colonial history.  \n• Representation of nature in colonial vs. postcolonial literature.  \n• Environmental justice in formerly colonized nations.  \n• Indigenous ecological knowledge and resistance.  \nDAK SH ITA SINGH  \nIdentify the correct options from the following statements:  \nA. Ecocriticism has often explained the ‘human and non-human webs of interrelation.’  \nB. In Ecocriticism, human accountability to the environment is part of the text's ethical orientation.  \nC. Ecocriticism foregrounds the notion of an interplay between environment and the body.  \nD. There is only one wave of Ecocriticism.  \nE. Ecocriticism has not tackled the issue of gender.  \nChoose the correct answer from the options given below:  \nA. A, B, C only  \nB. B, C, D only  \nC. A, C, D only  \nD.
