The conference seeks to address the climate crisis and ongoing environmental transformations—among the most urgent global challenges of our time—by examining the relationship between humans, society, and nature within an interdisciplinary framework. Reconsidering this relationship not solely in terms of conflict, but also through the lenses of mutual interaction, adaptation, and transformation constitutes the conceptual point of departure for the conference. In this context, ecocriticism will be approached as a critical field of inquiry that extends beyond literary and linguistic studies to intersect with a broad spectrum of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including philosophy, history, geography, archaeology, sociology, anthropology, history of art, psychology, philology, media studies, translation studies, and education.
The conference aims to foreground the cultural, ethical, aesthetic, and social dimensions of environmental issues and to foster rigorous scholarly discussions aimed at rethinking humanity’s position within ecological systems. By bringing together experts and researchers from diverse fields, the event aspires to contribute meaningfully to ongoing debates in ecocritical and environmental humanities studies.
