Naturokultura w powieści Therese Bohman O zmierzchu
Natureculture in the Novel Eventide by Therese Bohman

Summary/Abstract: One of the basic goals of ecocriticism is to deconstruct the binary opposition between “nature” and “culture”, so typical of Western thinking, and to show that these two notions are interdependent and cannot be separated. Donna Haraway proposes to reject this dichotomous division in favour of a new term coined by her, that is natureculture. This article aims at showing how the relationship between “nature” and “culture” is construed in the novel Eventide (2016) by Swedish writer Therese Bohman. The author focuses on the interplay between them and emphasizes the hybrid nature of reality, which could be described as naturalcultural, within the meaning intended by Haraway. Bohman exposes naturalcultural interactions on multiple levels, both diegetic and non-diegetic: starting from the title of her novel, through the imagery in the text, descriptions of the action scene, characters and the observations of the main protagonist, ending with elements of the plot.
