Resumen

      Tanto los historiadores medioambientales como los ecocríticos analizamos las historias que contamos sobre la relación entre humanos y naturaleza a la vez que creamos esas mismas narrativas. Usando el caso de Kiki, una tortuga gigante de Aldabra que se exhibe en el Muséum national d’Historie naturelle en París, presento tres posibles tipos de textos expuestos en el museo que se prestan a nuevas lecturas ecocríticas: etiquetas de museo, expositores biográficos, y restos materiales. Los enfoques ecocríticos de los textos científicos y biografías animales, así como el campo en desarrollo de la ecocrítica material, han demostrado ser útiles para dar sentido a las narrativas complejas de la historia medioambiental. Establecer contacto con enfoques ecocríticos puede mejorar el modo en el que cuento las historias como historiadora medioambiental.
