L'auteur se donne comme objet d''étude la représentation de la nature et de l''écologie chez trois penseurs français contemporains: l''anthropologue Claude Lévi-Strauss, le philosophe Michel Serres, et le romancier Michel Tournier. Les trois penseurs ont tous recours, dans leur domaine respectif, à deux modèles principaux pour théoriser le rapport entre l''être humain et le réel: d''une part, le modèle de la structure tel que développé par la pensée structuraliste, et d''autre part, le modèle du réseau tel que développé par l''écologie scientifique et la cybernétique. Mais ces deux modèles ne suffisent pas pour illustrer toute la richesse de l''expérience humaine; ces trois penseurs se servent tous de l''écriture littéraire pour explorer l''infini possible des phénomènes du réel. Ils signalent ainsi le "surplus phénoménologique", comme nous l''avons nommé, que seule la littérature réussit à représenter dans toute sa complexité. Ainsi, ce livre se veut une contribution originale et pertinente à l''étude de la pensée écologiste en France de nos jours.

"French Écocritique is the first book-length study of the culturally specific ways in which contemporary French literature and theory raise questions about nature and environment. Stephanie Posthumus's ground-breaking work brings together thinkers such as Guattari, Latour, and Serres with recent ecocritical theories to complicate what might otherwise become a reductive notion of "French ecocriticism." Working across contemporary philosophy and literature, the book defines the concept of the ecological as an attentiveness to specific nature-culture contexts and to a text's many interdiscursive connections. Posthumus identifies four key concepts, ecological subjectivity, ecological dwelling, ecological politics, and ecological ends, for changing how we think about human-nature relations. French Écocritique highlights the importance of moving beyond canonical ecocritical texts and examining a diversity of cultural and literary traditions for new ways of imagining the environment."--

This book expounds fruitful ways of analysing matters of ecology, environments, nature, and the non-human world in a broad spectrum of material in French. Scholars from Canada, France, Great Britain, Spain, and the United States examine the work of writers and thinkers including Michel de Montaigne, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola, Arthur Rimbaud, Marguerite Yourcenar, Gilbert Simondon, Michel Serres, Michel Houellebecq, and Éric Chevillard. The diverse approaches in the volume signal a common desire to bring together form and content, politics and aesthetics, theory and practice, under the aegis of the environmental humanities

Climate Change Scepticism is the first ecocritical study to examine the cultures and rhetorics of climate scepticism in the UK, Germany, the USA and France. Collaboratively written by leading scholars from Europe and North America, the book considers climate sceptical texts as literature, teasing out differences and challenging stereotypes as a way of overcoming partisan political paralysis on the most important cultural debate of our time. -- Back cover.
