Czy ekolingwistyka i geopoetyka mają szansę ukształtować nasze postawy?

Abstract

The text briefly defines ecolinguistics and geopoetics as trends in contemporary humanities that give a living hope for shaping modern man’s attitudes towards the environment. The development of civilization is a good thing, but at the same time it carries a lot of threats. Ecological awareness is still something unnatural in the thinking of the average person and still requires awareness of the relationship between the quality of behavior of contemporary society and the quality of life of future generations. The text shortly mentions ecolinguistics and geopoetics as trends that allow to raise awareness, especially among students and young people. It should be emphasized that this important reflection is only a narrow part of the considerations on possible ways of shaping ecological awareness, as well as the trends themselves.
