ECO-SCIENCE RELATED TOPICS IN THE LITERARY OPUS OF CRISTINA CAMPO
Abstract
This paper innovatively analyzes cultural intersections between the literary oeuvres of modern Italian writer Cristina Campo and the topics pertaining to ecocriticism, together with concomitant digital aspects thereof. The paper explores transversally across her work the elements of eco-literature, as well as interdisciplinary convergences in the light of environmental science with a particular focus on the envisionment of diachronic examples and other external intertextual elements in the contemporary era. The interest of this paper is in theoretical exegesis and correlated eco-poetical descriptions of Campo's writings, but also in analogous articulation concerning the global sphere of comparative literature. Likewise, the paper thematizes such compositional and expressive literary characteristics of Campo's opus highlighting idoneous ecopoiesis in the same epoch present in the philosophical domain, as well as in social disciplines and natural sciences, thereby creating a multicultural plurality of perspectives. Furthermore, it induces conceptual and compositional branching regarding literary genres by focusing from an ecopoietic standpoint on Campo's environmentally themed essayism and all other narratives, including the protoliterary nature of eco-related epistolary notes. The lyricism is envisaged too, by taking into consideration literary implications of ecopoetry, also in relation to actual and potential cultural models (Emily Dickinson, William Carlos Williams, Thomas Stearns Eliot, Marianne Moore etc).
