“The Living Skin of Our Ocean Shores”
In The Human Shore , John Gillis invites readers to view wind, earth, and water as interconnected elements of a single, dynamic system—the shore—and argues that humanity forms an integral part of this ecological continuum. This perspective deepens our understanding of both the planet and ourselves (236). Building on Gillis’s reflection, this paper turns to Adam Nicolson’s 2017 work of non-fiction, The Seabird’s Cry , suggesting that Nicolson invi…
In a House with Too Many Holes
The purpose of this essay is threefold. First, it aims to introduce Margaret Renkl’s Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss (2019) as a work that praises nature as home. Second, it seeks to show that, as an example of the nature writing tradition, Renkl's work is original in presenting the natural world as a space of duality—demanding reverence and humility on one hand, while also evoking anxiety and violence on the other. Third, it …

Drawing upon an ecocritical perspective, this paper considers how the de…

Neste sentido, dar‐se‐á relevo à cosmovisão ameríndia, cujos principais pilares culturais se baseiam na coabitação ambientalmente just…
