Resumo

A teoria da linguagem de Walter Benjamin tem implicações ecocríticas. Sua proposta, segundo a qual tudo fala, inclui uma dimensão ecológica - uma compreensão dos ambientes naturais com base nas histórias de exploração que eles comunicam. O ecólogo de Benjamin questiona a supremacia ligada à singularidade e superioridade da linguagem humana. Ao mesmo tempo, preserva a tarefa da linguagem humana de transformar as feridas do passado em narrativas políticas que interrompam o ciclo de destruição ambiental. Este artigo examina a teoria da linguagem de Benjamin de uma perspectiva ecológica, discutindo a objeção ao antropomorfismo, a tristeza e o luto da natureza e o impulso pedagógico de um poder ecológico frágil na historiografia política de Benjamin.
