Cultivating the Wild: Admiration, Imagination, & Industrialization. With our focus on literary studies and sustainability, we will consider poetry and fiction that propose important questions on our relationship with our environment, the formation of new types of spaces shaped by human activity, and the relationship of humans with animals. We will start with a few important 19th century texts, but our primary consideration will be the evolution of American literary approaches that react to or document changes in our world through new writing strategies, reflecting dominant and divergent worldviews of the mid 20th and early 21st centuries, when we find the most evident effects of what we call the Anthropocene and the rise of ecocriticism. Our most recent primary examples will highlight work from voices outside of our continent and marginalized voices who are often left out of the conversation.
