This course approaches environmentalism as an aspect of culture and imagination as well as a political movement. Our archive for the course includes novels, films, poetry, and our local community (more about that for those enrolled). I date contemporary environmentalism to nuclear-fallout anxieties of the 1950s, though we will read one earlier twentieth-century conservationist treatise. Featured authors include Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, E.O. Wilson, Wendell Berry, Philip K.Dick, Michael Pollan, and Susanne Antonetta. Featured films include On the Beach, Grizzly Man, The Age of Stupid, and King Corn.
