Abstract
This chapter reviews publications in the field of ecocriticism published in 2016. The material considered takes varied approaches to the shared endeavour to assert the place of thinking ecologically in, about, and through, cultural forms as a contribution to wider debate regarding environmental crisis now and in the future. These works effectively describe and advocate for the work of ecocriticism itself as a discipline. The review covers single-author and edited volumes, including one journal special issue. Focusing on relationships between ecocriticism and literary production, cinema, philosophy and theology, the publications discussed pose questions not only about how we appraise cultural representations of ‘the environment’, but also about how we recognize ecology as paradigmatically staged in culture.
