Key words: environmental ethics, acoustic ecology, environmental risk, interdisciplinarity
While from a formal perspective, ecocriticism barely exists in Swiss literature departments, there is significant interest and publications on environmental approaches to literature and culture, under different guises. Research on concepts of landscape, nature and place are multiple in English, German and Spanish departments. There is significant activity in the field of environmental ethics and human-animal relations. Moreover, some innovative research such as cultural representations of acoustic ecology, environmental risk, or changing perceptions and attitudes towards nature in scientific texts, letters and autobiography as well as art work, signal a growing trend of ecocriticism in Switzerland.

Mientras que desde una perspectiva formal, la ecocrítica apenas existe en los departamentos de literatura suiza, existe un interés significativo y hay publicaciones sobre diferentes perspectivas medioambientales aplicadas a la literatura y a la cultura bajo distintas apariencias. También hay múltiples investigaciones sobre conceptos como paisaje, naturaleza y lugar en los departamentos de inglés, alemán y español, aparte de una actividad significativa en el campo de la ética medioambiental y de las relaciones entre seres humanos y animales. Además, una investigación innovadora como son representaciones culturales de ecología acústica, riesgo medioambiental o percepciones actitudes de cambio hacia la naturaleza en textos científicos, cartas y autobiografías, así como en obras de arte, señalan una tendencia creciente hacia la ecocrítica en Suiza.
