초록

The threat to East Asian food traditions and values from the globalization of American food habits and ethics urgently requires ecocritical attention. The work of Ruth Ozeki—balancing thematic concerns of East Asian Studies on the one hand and American Studies on the other—is, in many ways, a perfect vehicle for getting into some of the difficult theoretical issues ecocriticism must face. As an approach that has sought activist engagement through a multi-disciplinary approach, ecocriticism both benefits from and contributes to theorizing about food—particularly American food habits—as they are related to the East Asian context Ozeki narrates. Theorizing food’s under-theorization in ecocriticism reveals firstly the disconnect that characterizes mainstream Western relationships with food, secondly the ways that an ethics of convenience and opportunism within representations of environmental crisis media (sometimes including ecocriticism) functions, and thirdly how the ethical parameters defining the notion of ownership are environmentally catastrophic.

Abstract

The threat to East Asian food traditions and values from the globalization of American food habits and ethics urgently requires ecocritical attention. The work of Ruth Ozeki—balancing thematic concerns of East Asian Studies on the one hand and American Studies on the other—is, in many ways, a perfect vehicle for getting into some of the difficult theoretical issues ecocriticism must face. As an approach that has sought activist engagement through a multi-disciplinary approach, ecocriticism both benefits from and contributes to theorizing about food—particularly American food habits—as they are related to the East Asian context Ozeki narrates. Theorizing food’s under-theorization in ecocriticism reveals firstly the disconnect that characterizes mainstream Western relationships with food, secondly the ways that an ethics of convenience and opportunism within representations of environmental crisis media (sometimes including ecocriticism) functions, and thirdly how the ethical parameters defining the notion of ownership are environmentally catastrophic.
