Deep Ecological Consciousness and Interconnectedness in William Wordsworth’s Tintern Abbey

Humans and nature interconnectedness is a dynamic process. The extensive misuse of natural resources has left us in an uncontrolled situation. Ecological disasters are worsening our relationship with nature. Humans’ anthropocentric attitude to dominate nature needed to be relooked from biocentric lenses. Rediscovering our interconnectedness with nature will advance our ecological consciousness to bring equilibrium between humans and nature. This paper intends to examine “Tintern Abbey”, the famous poetry by William Wordsworth to raise awareness of the interconnectedness of humans and nature in people’s minds, through deep ecological perspectives.

Construction of Credibility Model for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Ecological Civilization Education

The concept of green development as a rational grasp of the relationship between man and nature is not only an important embodiment of the line of thought of seeking truth from facts and advancing with the times but also a concrete application of Marxist materialistic dialectics combined with the current situation of China’s development. Ecological consciousness is a value orientation that reflects the harmonious development of man and nature as a worldview and methodology to explore and reflect on the ecological and environmental problems of the current society. College students are an important force in promoting China’s development in the future, and cultivating their good ecological consciousness with the concept of green development as a guide for action is of great significance at both the theoretical level and the practical level. Based on the review of online reviews, this study proposes that the content of positive reviews can be classified into praiseworthy reviews. In order to verify the objectivity of the content dimensions of the three types of positive comments, this study selected 1,800 positive comments as the research sample using stratified random sampling and conducted a content analysis of the comment samples one by one using the NET method. The content analysis results showed that praiseworthy comments appeared in almost all of the samples, constructive comments appeared in 23% of the samples, and prosocial comments appeared in only 14% of the sample. The results of the content analysis show that it is necessary to identify the dimensions of positive online comments because the single-dimensional constructs cannot effectively present the multidimensional information content contained in positive comments. By studying the geometric modeling method in soft tissue modeling technology, we propose covering the surface model on the outer surface of the physical model and using the tetrahedral mesh as the support skeleton of the physical model. Through the purification of the initial items and secondary testing, a scale with good reliability and validity for measuring the three constructs of praiseworthy, constructive, and prosocial comments was finally obtained.

ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS POETRY: A STUDY OF GARY SYNDER'S POETRY

Ecological consciousness poetry is considered as a modern literary movement, it has its roots in the west side of the world originated in the United States of America on the second half of 20th century. The concept of nature was the major theme in the Romantic era. On the other hand, eco-writers have their consideration of nature. This research highlighting on one of the most important parts in this movement which is "ecopoetry" by explaining its implications of nature in Gary Snyder's poetry, who is one of the pioneers of beat generation. The first section of the research concerns with Gary Snyder's early life and highlights on his most significant perspectives. The second one is a kind of a critical part, which concerns with eco-critical approach, its roots, concept, and a list of a critical questions which asks by its critics. The third section is the most important one in my opinion, which is the implication of ecological consciousness poetry in Gary Snyder's poems and how he reads this kind of poetry. And last but not least, a conclusion which sums up my perspectives and readings to the ecocriticism in general, and Gary Snyder's poetry in special. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0821/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

A Study on Creation Principles of Five-storied Pagoda: From the Perspective of Eco-aesthetics

The novel-Five-storied Pagoda-written by Japanese novelist Koda Rohan manifestly presents ecological consciousness from the perspective of the natural principle, the holistic principle, and the harmonious principle, which are the three principles of ecological aesthetics. By perceiving the harmonious atmosphere among man and nature, individuals themselves, individuals, and society in texts, we can learn that Koda Rohan insisted on traditional Japanese aesthetics and prospectively reflected on the modern aesthetic ideology of Japanese society after Meiji Restoration. This paper explores the aesthetic features of—Five-storied Pagoda—by analyzing text expression from a new angle, and probes into the relationship with the three principles of eco-aesthetics. It is aimed to determine the consensus between eastern aesthetics and ecological aesthetics, and it can be inferred that the consensus will, to a great extent, make a special contribution to enriching the construction of ecological aesthetics.

MODELING OF THE MAIN TOPIC FOR THE INFORMATION VISITOR CENTER OF ECOTOURISM TERRITORIES (URBAN PLANNING TESTING OF BOURDIEU’S CONCEPT OF FIELD)

The urban planning system of the ecotourism territory is studied as a system of interacting objects – a network of ecological and educational information visitor centers. The formation of ecological consciousness is the main path leading to the balanced development of human and nature. Visitor centers are created to indirectly manage the recreational impact on the ecosystems of specially protected natural areas (SPNA) by forming an ecological consciousness among visitors, based on the transmitted information. The content of the information (the main subject) of the interacting visitor centers forms the information space of the ecotourism territory, its morphology organizes the planning structure of the territory. The main theme shows the uniqueness of the territory, highlighting the most striking natural and cultural-historical features, translates the model of harmonious relations between human and nature that has developed on this basis. The information should be properly structured and well-organized system to strengthen the informational influence on visitors. The conceptual basis for modeling the content (main subject) of the visit center is the model of the social field of P. Bourdieu. According to P. Bourdieu’s social field, the social space is considered as a topology divided into a number of elements-fields that owe their structure to the uneven distribution of individual types of capital. The capital of the ecological social field is the cultural models of the harmonious coexistence of human and nature. The impact of eco-educational institutions in the ecological social field depends on the size of the cultural capital belonging to them and the internal scheme of perception of the cultural model (habitus). The social resource and the internal attitudes of visitors structure the social space. As a result of the research, the author proposes a conceptual model of the environmental education system to strengthen the influence of the ecological field. Its essence is that the content of the information of the visitor center (the main subject) should correspond to the place of its localization-the field of influence of the visitor center on visitors.

Feeding extinction: navigating the metonyms and misanthropy of palm oil boycotts

Among UK-based orangutan conservation supporters, palm oil consumption boycotts are widespread, due to the ecological impacts of oil palm cultivation on orangutan habitat. Yet these boycotts are largely at odds with the stances of orangutan charities. Drawing on interviews with orangutan supporters, this article explores why some Global North consumers are so consumed by palm oil. Palm oil is viewed by orangutan supporters as insidious, invasive and cheap, and forces a bodily complicity with orangutan suffering. It is mobilized as a metonym for human greed and capitalist destruction. This metonymic relationship mirrors broader Anthropocentric framings of human-nature relations, which emphasize humanity as a universal actor. Yet the practices of 'species guilt' associated with these framings largely mitigate against a decolonizing model of conservation, as they have the potential to deny agency to workers and villagers enmeshed within the oil palm economy. Despite these unpromising circumstances, this article explores the unintended value of palm oil boycotts in terms of agency and ecological consciousness and addresses the potential to align such boycotts with a decolonial analysis, through centering the human dimensions of orangutan conservation.
