| 摘要: | In The future of environmental criticism, Buell (2005) proffers a cognitive mapping of the future of ecocriticism in terms of the two-wave palimpsestic “trend-lines” of environmental criticism. To follow up on Buell’s observations of environmental twists and turns, Scott Slovic and Joni Adamson go a step further to welcome more inclusive wave theories of ecocriticism at the present time by ushering in “a new third wave of ecocriticism, which recognizes ethnic and national particularities and yet transcends ethnic and national boundaries,” an attempt that “explores all facets of human experience from an environmental viewpoint” (Adamson and Slovic 2009, pp. 6–7).1 In their adumbration, Adamson and Slovic feature those global concepts of place melding with neo-bioregionalism, such as eco-cosmopolitanism, translocality, post-national and post-ethnic comparative studies of ecocriticism, material ecocriticism, ecofeminism, and polymorphous activism, as a means to debunk the nature–culture binary. For both ecocritics, “material” ecofeminism stands as one component of the third wave of ecocriticism. |
