Description
Environmental Humanities in Folktales: Theory and Practice by P. Mary Vidya Porselvi explores the connections between folktales and our understanding of the world. This book examines how folktales can promote interconnectedness, interdependence, and holistic thinking, shedding light on their ecological relevance. The author identifies and analyzes motifs and patterns in select folktales that foster a systematic view of life, highlighting the importance of critically analyzing alternative worldviews to address global ecological issues. A key aspect of this work is its introduction to Ecofemiotics, a discipline that connects women with the environment through a re-reading of folktales. This nuanced study will be of interest to scholars and researchers in literature, sociology, social anthropology, gender studies, and environmental studies, offering insights into how folktales can inform our understanding of ecological balance and sustainable living.
