Ecoparaenesis. Some Preliminary Observations

Summary/Abstract: The author outlines the concepts of ecocritical regionalism and eco-parenesis. The aim is to highlight selected new literary phenomena related to the awareness of the ecological crisis and to attempt their preliminary characterization. Referring to the notion of parenesis, which is rooted in culture, as well as more recent phenomena from the borderline between literary studies and other disciplines, the author points out the operational capacity of such categories as the eco-regional novel and, above all, the eco-parenetic novel. The work discussed more extensively in the article, Dom Oriona [Orion’s House] by Julia Fiedorczuk, serves as an example of this type of novel.
