외국문학분야 문학과 환경 이론 성찰 및 연구방향 제안

초록

This study has two interrelated purposes: First, it diagnoses research tendencies of the Korean Association for the Studies on Literature and Environment (ASLE-Korea) in the study field of foreign literary ecology; second, based upon such diagnosis, it makes some suggestions for future ecocritical studies. The referred articles published in all the issues of Literature and Environment, the official journal of the ASLE-Korea, are not only not a little amount in quantity but also cover fairly diverse scopes and depths in themes and writers and their works studied. These articles, however,demonstrate equally important drawbacks such as--to name but a few--obstinacy of deep ecological perspectives, negligence of real environmental issues, indifference to interdisciplinary approaches, the failure to make inroads to college curricula. These drawbacks in turn suggest new future research approaches the ASLE-Korea needs to pursue in order to produce more systematic, diverse, realistic, and global-local discourses on literature and environment.
