Abstract:

This book offers an up-to-date account of one of the most influential
strands of eco-research: cognitive ecostylistics. The onset of the
1970s saw a global shift in scholarly perspective upon the relation
between egocentric and ecocentric views of the world. The so-called
eco-turn was not only linguistic at its roots, but engaged the bulk of
academic thought in social sciences and humanities.

Cognitive ecostylistics invites a multidisciplinary approach to the
study of the conceptual relations between oral or written texts and
their impact on the environment. This volume is a collection of the
latest research that seeks to apply the theory and methodology
developed over the last 40 years to both literary and real-life texts,
engaging with a wealth of examples from First World War poetry and
Anne of Green Gables through to Condé Nast Traveller hotel
descriptions. Exploring the cultural effects of the eco-turn, the
collection engages the reader in the problem of the present-day
Anthropocene, manifested as Ego-Eco tensions at the level of
communicating self-needs and the needs of the Other. Divided into two
parts, it considers first the human-angled semiotic interplay
contained within the universe of people, before examining the problem
of semiotic engagement of texts as extraneous to the human,
highlighting crucial aspects of nature, culture, and beyond.
