Vernacularizing Ecocriticism: Green Reading of Tales in Two Translated Novels of Indian Languages

The term Ecocriticism was first coined by Joseph Meeker in his book ‘The Comedy of Survival’ in 1972 defining the collaboration of literature and nature. This paper explores the connection of vernacular literature and ecocriticism through an eco-friendly reading of translation of two novels: Akkineni Kutumba Rao's Kolleti Jaladu (Softly Dies a Lake) and Na. D’Souza's Dweepa (Island). The research examines how these narratives articulate the material and cognitive impacts of ecological change by focusing on the socio-economic and political dimensions of humanenvironment interaction.

Abstract

The term Ecocriticism was first coined by Joseph Meeker in his book ‘The Comedy of Survival’ in 1972 defining the collaboration of literature and nature. This paper explores the connection of vernacular literature and ecocriticism through an eco-friendly reading of translation of two novels: Akkineni Kutumba Rao's Kolleti Jaladu (Softly Dies a Lake) and Na. D’Souza's Dweepa (Island). The research examines how these narratives articulate the material and cognitive impacts of ecological change by focusing on the socio-economic and political dimensions of humanenvironment interaction.
