Two Day National Seminar on Eco-Future: A Voice for Nature, December 17-18, 2019

The Department of English, Government College Kattappana

Environmental degradation is one of the major global issues that the twenty first century is affected with. The depletion of the Ozone layer, resources, air, water and soil, the destruction of the eco system, the extinction of wildlife and global warming are some of the consequences of man’s overuse and exploitation of land and water for urbanisation and industrialisation. As over the decades literature has become a pretext to the study of environmental issues under the influence of ecological debates, and relevant texts have often been evaluated according to their capacity to articulate ecological contexts. Literature realizes and visualizes that individuals and social pathologies are coextensive. At the same time it is important to note how mankind defines its relationship with nature and to investigate to what extent ecocentric and biocentric voices can be heard over anthropocentric voices. The trouble is we have all let ourselves become part of the killer story, and so we may get finished along with it. Hence it is high time that we discuss the untold problematics of environmental devastation.
