Η οπτική αυτή εντάσσει το εγχείρημα στο πλαίσιο της οικοκριτικής. Μετά από μια παρουσίαση της ιστορίας και των βασικών ζητημάτων που απασχολούν αυτόν τον κλάδο των περιβαλλοντικών ανθρωπιστικών επιστημών, τα επιμέρους κεφάλαια εξετάζουν τα έργα στα πολιτισμικά τους συμφραζόμενα, στη σειρά της χρονολογικής τους διαδοχής. Θέματα που συζητούνται είναι: οι πολιτικές, ιδεολογικές και οικονομικές προϋποθέσεις της αστικής φυσιολατρίας του Μεσοπολέμου· η εξ αποστάσεως εξιδανίκευση της φύσης στον πνευματικό εθνισμό της γενιάς του ’30· η ιδεολογική της κατάχρηση στην υπηρεσία της ευγονικής την ίδια περίοδο· η ταύτιση της γυναίκας με τη φύση σε μια κίνηση που αρχικά εξιδανικεύει και τελικά απωθεί και τις δύο σε άντρες συγγραφείς και, στον αντίποδα, η αποδοχή της υλικότητας και της πολλαπλότητας της φύσης σε γυναίκες συγγραφείς από τον Μεσοπόλεμο μέχρι τα πρώτα μεταπολεμικά χρόνια· η απειλή της φύσης να επιστρέψει ως καταπιεσμένος αλλά και απελευθερωτικός Άλλος μέσα στην επιθετική αστικοποίηση της δεκαετίας του 1960· το τέλος του κόσμου ως συνέπεια της άκρατης ανάπτυξης, του ατομισμού και του ανταγωνισμού και η πιθανότητα μιας σωτηρίας στο άνοιγμα, στην αποδοχή της ρευστότητας και στη σύνδεση του ανθρώπου με το σύνολο της φυσικής πραγματικότητας. Στη μελέτη αυτή το ιεραρχικό δίπολο άνθρωπος/φύση επανέρχεται σταθερά σε πολλά από τα κείμενα, ενώ αλλά αναδεικνύουν τα αδιέξοδα στα οποία οδηγεί αυτός ο καταπιεστικός και υποτιμητικός διαχωρισμός, καθώς γίνεται σαφές ότι ο άνθρωπος είναι φύση.

Featuring essays by an international array of literature scholars, this volume examines the challenges and opportunities of teaching literature at Open and Virtual Universities in a wide range of national, cultural and linguistic contexts. It presents cutting-edge explorations of seminal issues, including: literature pedagogy and curriculum building; canon and theory debates; the uses of hypertext and other digital tools for literary instruction; the writing and evaluation of educational material; and the teaching of digital literature. These issues are addressed from various critical and theoretical viewpoints, which reflect the contributors’ long educational and administrative involvement with open and distance learning (ODL) in a rich diversity of cultural and academic frameworks.
As the first scholarly attempt to bring together questions of literature pedagogy and issues in open and distance, online and blended learning, this book is an essential resource for literature instructors and administrators in ODL, e-learning and b-learning programs. It offers techniques enabling scholars in more traditional academic settings to make literature courses more effective and stimulating by using tools developed for distance learning.

The present research explores two questions: How do Greek short stories of this period respond to the challenges of the postmodern condition, and what is the picture of the postmodern that one could draw from these texts. To this goal more than a hundred short stories are examined, by Sotiris Dimitriou, Michel Fais, Rhea Galanaki, E. Ch. Gonatas, Yiorgos loannou, Christophoros Milionis, Dimitris Nollas, I. Ch. Papadimitrakopoulos, Ersi Sotiropoulou, Christos Vakalopoulos, and Zyranna Zateli. The thesis is structured on a thematic basis, studying the major themes of reality and the subject, in order to evaluate the kind and degree of subversion that this fundamental bipolar axis of modern thought is undergoing in the postmodern condition. The rea...

Characterized by quantitative and aesthetic variability, the Greek version of the genre is shown to engage actively with topical contextual issues as well as with changing imperatives of authorial commitment and the shifting composition of the working class.

In this respect, the increasingly g rowing sector of Open and Distance Learning in higher education poses a significant challenge for literary studies, no less so as it addresses an emergent student body comprised mostly of mature students with significantly divergent backgrounds and expectations. The article traces the different answers provided to these challenges by nine European ODL universities. By discussing their objectives and methods along the axes of curriculum design, educational material and educational procedures, this comparative survey attempts to describe an emergent profile of literary studies as well as help promote dialogue about the practice of literary instruction in higher education. The survey is based on the outcomes of a two-and-a-half-year research programme undertaken by the research team `OpenLit', operating under the auspices of the School of Humanities at the Hellenic Open University.
