Dissertation Summary
My research project explores the intersection of recently developed fields within the context of ecocriticism, positioning itself within the emerging discussions in environmental humanities. It aims to redefine the relationship between humans and their non-human environment by analyzing ecological representations in various narratives. Focusing on cinematic adaptations of American literature, particularly within the science fiction genre, the project examines how these works imagine alternative environments. The study aims to identify the characteristics of environmental messages in these works and assess their impact on the ecological consciousness of viewers. In doing so, it will contribute to understanding the role of cultural productions in reshaping environmental perceptions.
