There are two branches of wilderness ecocriticism:

Old World portrays the wilderness as a scary, threatening place beyond the borders of civilization and as a place of exile.
New World portrays the wilderness as a place of sanctuary where one can find relaxation and reflection, similar to classical pastoral ecocriticism.

There are three branches of pastoral ecocriticism:

Classical is characterized by nostalgia and nature as a place for human relaxation and reflection.
Romantic is characterized by portraying rural independence as desirable.
American emphasizes agrarianism and represents land as a resource to be cultivated.

other considerations. In other words, deep ecologists believe that taking care of our environmental problems first will in-turn solve our society problems.

It draws parallels between women and nature, which is often seen as feminine, fertile and the property of men.
Ecofeminism also includes other aspects of environmental justice, such as racial environmental justice. There are two branches of ecofeminism:

The first branch of ecofeminism embraces the idea that women are inherently closer to nature than men on a biological, spiritual, and emotional level. This branch is often called radical ecofeminism because it reverses the domination of men over women and nature.
The second branch of ecofeminism contradicts the first, arguing that neither women nor men are more likely to connect with nature

The flower and feminist became linked, additionally I thought it was interesting that the flower sprouted a mouth of all things. To me mouths are more associated with femininity. And the flower/female was stared at like she was in a zoo, and ended up dying.

Old world wilderness because the nature did kill him in the end which is threatening behavior.]]> 2021-11-04 17:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gavingaude/52uxjhswky3an1zh/wish/1868067397 Old world wilderness https://padlet.com/gavingaude/52uxjhswky3an1zh/wish/1868069273 The plant is a supernatural organism that feeds off Carl.
