Ecocriticism is gaining increasing international recognition as a field of research that opens up new perspectives reaffirming the relevance and responsibility of the humanities, in an age of pressing social and political problems seemingly incapable of purely technological and economic solutions. Many of its most significant practitioners in Germany subscribe to the theory of Cultural Ecology. Drawing on the ideas of Gregory Bateson, Peter Finke and others, Cultural Ecology presents a new framework for understanding the particular contribution of literature and art to our general social knowledge, including knowledge about our relationship with the natural environment.

La ecocrítica está obteniendo cada vez más reconocimiento internacional como un campo de investigación que establece nuevas perspectivas que reafirman la relevancia y la responsabilidad de las humanidades en una era de problemas políticos y sociales urgentes que, aparentemente, no encuentran solución puramente tecnológica ni económica. Muchos de sus profesionales más importantes en Alemania se adhieren a la teoría de la Ecología Cultural. Valiéndose de las ideas de Gregory Bateson, Peter Finke y otros, se ha desarrollado un nuevo marco para entender la contribución particular de la literatura y del arte a nuestro conocimiento social general, incluyendo el conocimiento sobre nuestra relación con el entorno natural.
