초록
Ecocritical literature is an excellent vehicle for teaching children and it can unite facts and concepts and make it possible for children to make generalizations about environmental information as well as broaden children’s thoughts about the relationships between nature and people. Seven ecocritical children’s books discussed in this paper reflect a deep-seated dissatisfaction with contemporary environmental development and strive to establish or modify basic attitudes toward the good life or the eco-utopia. The problems and dangers condemned in these stories—the broad and fast industrialization or urbanization, the destruction of biological diversity and the disaster of nuclear explosion—exist in reality and can all endanger future conditions. Thus, the vigorous and often militant protest against existing environmental conditions in these books is a healthy and necessary response to requiring change. Ecocritical children’s books in this paper urge children to engage in environmental improvement and make the world green again. These books suggest that our future world can only be an eco-utopia with the efforts of children and future generation.
Abstract
Ecocritical literature is an excellent vehicle for teaching children and it can unite facts and concepts and make it possible for children to make generalizations about environmental information as well as broaden children’s thoughts about the relationships between nature and people. Seven ecocritical children’s books discussed in this paper reflect a deep-seated dissatisfaction with contemporary environmental development and strive to establish or modify basic attitudes toward the good life or the eco-utopia. The problems and dangers condemned in these stories—the broad and fast industrialization or urbanization, the destruction of biological diversity and the disaster of nuclear explosion—exist in reality and can all endanger future conditions. Thus, the vigorous and often militant protest against existing environmental conditions in these books is a healthy and necessary response to requiring change. Ecocritical children’s books in this paper urge children to engage in environmental improvement and make the world green again. These books suggest that our future world can only be an eco-utopia with the efforts of children and future generation.
