Documentary abstract — original language

Key words: ecophobia, speciesism, ecocritical theory, ecocritical ethics, Andrew Battista, Lawrence Buell To a large extent, ecocriticism has not developed its own body of critical theory, largely so because many prominent ecocritics deliberately shy away from theoretical entanglements. Reading ecophobia is an attempt to theorize ecocriticism and reach a kind of methodological and structural definition of the field. Reading ecophobia consists of uncovering and seeing unassumed connections in our thinking and in our conceptual links that would recognize the interweaving of racism, misogyny, homophobia, speciesism and ecophobia. It would imply acknowledging biases in our analyses of cultural products and their representations of nature. Thus, it becomes a necessary step for the discipline. Palabras clave: ecofobia, especiesismo, teoría ecocrítica, ética ecocrítica, Andrew Battista, Lawrence Buell En gran medida la ecocrítica no ha desarrollado su propio cuerpo de teoría crítica, en parte debido a que muchos ecocríticos destacados rehúyen deliberadamente los enredos teóricos. Una lectura de la ecofobia constituye un intento de teorizar la ecocrítica y alcanzar una especie de definición metodológica y estructural del campo. Esta lectura consiste en revelar y ver conexiones no aparentes en nuestro pensamiento y en nuestros vínculos conceptuales, lo que reconocería la unión inextricable entre racismo, misoginia, homofobia, especiesismo y ecofobia. Esto implicaría reconocer los prejuicios en nuestros análisis de productos culturales y sus representaciones de la naturaleza. Por lo tanto, se convierte en un paso necesario para la disciplina.
