課程簡述
This course aims to familiarize students with current ecocriticial theories and to enable them to employ these theories in original readings of literature and film in general as well as from Taiwan. It is divided into two parts: The first part of the semester will provide an introduction to current ecocritical theory, contextualizing ecocriticism within the larger field of critiques of modernity and paying special attention to linkages between ecocriticism and postcolonial theory. In the second part of the semester, these theoretical perspectives will be brought to bear on a selection of texts and films in general as well as from Taiwan.
