Literature, Environment, Activism – Module description
The Literature, Environment, Activism module explores the creative and quietly subversive political performances of environmental writing-as-advocacy, within a predominantly North American context. This module explores how nature and environmental writing can be politicised in defence of local, state, and federal land protections — whether by writers themselves, or by conservationists, activists, policymakers, and others. We will study the intersections of page and place through a selection of nonfiction environmental texts from the mid-nineteenth century onwards that have informed and moulded on-the-ground land conservation practices, or contributed to environmental regulation and legislation. We will also look at how fiction — such as climate fiction, speculative fiction, and graphic novels — has emerged as another platform for commentary on the environmental condition. This module offers geographical approaches and tools to help students explore the contributions of environmental writing to conservation campaigns, and its place in wider environmental activism and protest narratives. We will ask questions of ‘literature,’ ‘environment,’ and ‘activism,’ and the intersections between them.

Gabarito
Errado
Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque o módulo não se limita a focar apenas em autores americanos que escreveram ficção durante o século XIX. O texto menciona que as leituras incluem uma seleção de textos não-ficcionais de escrita ambiental desde o século XIX, além de abordar como a ficção, incluindo ficção climática e graphic novels, serve como uma plataforma para discutir questões ambientais. Portanto, o escopo do módulo é mais amplo e não se restringe apenas à ficção ou a autores do século XIX.
