What is Transnationalization of Ecocriticism about?
This essay argues that ecocriticism today has acclimatized transnational perspectives, and that transnationalization of ecocriticism explains its propensity to move beyond its insular focus on geographical and U.S.-based paradigms. In its transition from what Ursula Heise calls "ethics of proximity to a cosmopolitan ethic", ecocriticism is constructing a vision of "ecoglobalism". Sketching a broad overview of this development, I contend that transnationalization of ecocriticism does not necessarily induce an opposition between the local and global sense of place; rather, ecocriticism invites a rethinking of the local in the context of its global configurations.
