Hello Readers!
This is my academic task on Ecocriticism and Ecofeminism. Let's we look that what is Ecocriticism and Ecofeminism.
What is Ecocriticism?
In simple words, Ecocriticism is a study of the relationship between literature and physical environment. Ecocriticism takes as it subject the interconnection between nature and cultural.
Ecocriticism is a term used for the observation and study of relationship between the literature and the earth's environment. It is also referred to by some other fields such as ecology, biopolitics, sustainable design, environmental histroy, environmentalism, and others. Ecocriticism was first defined by Cheryll Glotfelty and it clear for other critics and writers.
Ecocriticism , it can be called an "increasingly heterogeneous movement " that takes an entirely earth -centered approach. It is about literature on the environment.
Ecocriticism as a literary theory :
The traditional theory considers the linguistic or the cultural background or the social background as an important factor, eco-critics nature as a dominant factor as they believe that our evolution as a society is largely dependent on the Forces of nature. Because according to them, the world in which we live is not made only with language and social elements.

- What is Ecofeminism?
Ecofeminism emphasis the relationship between women and nature. Ecofeminism is a feminist approach to environmental ethics. Ecofeminism established by French feminist Francois d'Eaubonne in the 1970s, is a relatively new from of feminist theory.
This approach combines the ecology and feminism and explains the feminist nature to help understand the ecology. Feminists have given the concept of gender theory to analyze the relationship between the human and nature. So, it can be considered a branch of Ecocriticism and is the field of studying the interconnection between the oppression of women and nature.
The land is often considered as a feminine in nature because of its fertility that nurtures the life and is owned by the man as a property. So, the feminists draw the lines of comparison to understand the similarity of dominant nature of man over women and the domination of land in the context of gender relationship.
