Eco-centric perspectives and the rethinking of nature in literature

This article explores the theoretical and aesthetic dimensions of eco-centric literature, examining how a growing body of literary works challenges the anthropocentric assumptions that have dominated Western cultural and philosophical traditions. Drawing on the frameworks of biocentrism and ecocentrism — as developed by thinkers such as Arne Næss, Val Plumwood, and Patrick Curry — the article traces how contemporary and canonical writers decenter the human subject, attribute agency to non-human entities, and interrogate the binary opposition between culture and nature. Through close attention to literary form, narrative perspective, and ecological imagery, the article argues that literature offers a distinctive and powerful medium for reshaping ecological consciousness and imagining more sustainable modes of human–environment coexistence.
