Keywords: third wave ecocriticism, first wave ecocriticism, second wave ecocriticism, comparative, transnational, eco-cosmopolitanism, material ecofeminism, green queer theory, animality, commitment'Third Wave Ecocriticism' has become accepted as the label for a new form of critical writing which transcends national and ethnic boundaries and compares human experience across cultures. This focus distinguishes it equally from first wave ecocriticism in the 1980s (which dealt mainly with nature writing, wilderness and women's special affinity with nature), and the second wave, which began in the mid 1990s (and turned its attention to other literary genres and media, environmental justice, and urban ecology). Critics adopting the transcultural approach are exploring tensions between the global and the local, new varieties of ecofeminism, conceptions of animality, and ways of integrating literature in environmental activism. Palabras clave: tercera oleada de la ecocritica, primera oleada de la ecocritica, segunda oleada de la ecocritica “La Tercera oleada de la ecocrítica” se ha aceptado como etiqueta para una nueva forma de escritura crítica que trasciende las barreras nacionales y étnicas y que compara la experiencia humana de diferentes culturas. Este enfoque también la distingue de la primera oleada ecocrítica de los años 80, que se centraba sobre todo en la escritura de la naturaleza, sobre la tierra salvaje y en la afinidad de las mujeres con la naturaleza; y de la segunda oleada, que comenzó a mediados de los 90 y dirigió su atención hacia otros géneros literarios y los medios de comunicación, la justicia medioambiental y la ecología urbana. Los críticos que adoptan el enfoque transcultural exploran las tensiones entre lo global y lo local, las nuevas variedades del ecofeminismo, las nociones de animalidad y las formas de integrar la literatura en el activismo medioambiental
