RESISTING ECOCULTURAL STUDIES

摘要

Ecoculturalism ought to have transformed cultural studies over a decade ago. Yet it has not. I examine the troubled articulation of cultural studies and the 'eco,' focusing on what I perceive to be cultural studies' resistance to, and difficulties with, ecoculturalism. In the end, I seek to make good on the transformative potential of the 'eco' by advocating a seemingly counterintuitive move: that ecoculturalism be jettisoned in favor of a revitalized commitment to cultural studies.
