AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The book challenges the myth of the neutrality and detachment of the scholar. Its strength lies in its dynamic, engaging and passionate participation in the meeting of texts and words of different genres, geographical areas and cultures, in the pluralistic diversity of the themes explored, in its fundamental and creative relations with ecosophy, ethnophilology, ecofeminism, system theory and ecolinguistics. It brings together renowned international scholars to focus on postcolonial, ecocritical, mythical, and archetypal studies of literature, education and its partnership mediation, applied linguistics and plurilingual education.'

2022
single work
review
— Appears in: Le Simplegadi , November no. 22 2022; (p. 141-144)
— Review of Ecosustainable Narratives and Partnership Relationships in World Literatures in English 2022 anthology criticism 'Ecosustainable Narratives and Partnership Relationships in World Literatures in English adds to the growing body of essay-collections curated by the Partnership Studies Group of the University of Udine, which, drawing on the work of Riane Eisler, proposes partnership models of culture and society to dismantle dominator paradigms founded on asymmetrical binaries. In the present volume, the extent to which the partnership paradigm is central varies and several of the essays extend the focus beyond world literatures in English, but overall Ecosustainable Narratives offers a series of stimulating case-studies of ways in which discourse can be re-envisioned in non-hierarchical ways.'
