- Abstract:
- While ecocritical poetics have effectively challenged epistemologies of nature and culture, scholars such as Heise, Huggen, Nixon, and Garrard have critiqued this emergent field's geographic and cultural provincialism. Seeking a rapprochement between Caucasus vernacular literatures and a literary-theoretical movement (ecocriticism) still dominated by European master narratives, I look beyond traditional Euro-American sites of inquiry and assay the varieties of ecopoetical sublimes in the indigenous and Russophone literatures of the Caucasus.
