To some extent, ecocriticism, which first emerged during the environmental movement in 1980s with the publication of Carson’ Silent Spring, has become, as Glotfelty (1996) puts it, “an earth- centered approach” which believes that “human culture is connected to the physical world, affecting it and affected by it”. The environmental crisis we are now facing is by all means a crisis of consciousness, a challenge to our generation as we are now perceiving that our environment is, slowly but surely, degrading and depraving, affecting our life and all living beings on planet Earth. Our generation has inevitably been given a mammoth task of halting the destruction, and eventually reversing the damage. Humanity has to assume the responsibility of preserving the nature, and be united shoulder to shoulder to deaccelerate the decline. It is with this very issue on our mind that the 7th Literary Studies Conference “Rethinking Environmental Issues through Literature, Language, Culture, and Education” was conceived, and today it comes into being. The environmental crisis must be addressed comprehensively and globally by all humanity, including us, the literary scholars. The 67 papers on environmental concerns seen from literature, language, culture, and education are expected to enrich our repertoire on ecocritism research and to ease the pain Mother Earth is now experiencing. The Committee would like to express its gratitude to the plenary speakers, the parallel presenters, and all the participants for their effort to come all the way to Universitas Sanata Dharma to share their thoughts and concerns on the ecocriticism and environmental issues. Have a fruitful conference, and enjoy Yogyakarta’s blazing heat! Yogyakarta, 1 October 2019 Harris Hermansyah Setiajid Conference Committee, Chair Conference Book LSC 2019 “Rethinking Environmental Issues through Literature, Language, Culture, and Education” | 3 Welcome Note from the President On behalf of Sanata Dharma University, I feel honored to welcome all speakers and participants of The 7th Literary Studies Conference (LSC). I also would like to extend my warmest regards to all of you. Let us first thanks to Almighty God for the grace we have received in preparing this conference. I do hope this conference facilitates us an effective means to strengthen our role and improve our knowledge contribution as lecturers or researchers. I also wish that The 7th LSC conference facilitates a fruitful sharing and exchange of ideas related to the conference’s theme on ‘Rethinking Environmental Issues through Literature, Language, Culture, and Education’ Sanata Dharma University appreciates and supports this conference especially when it takes its theme on ‘Environmental Issues.’ As a Jesuit University Sanata Dharma strongly supports the so called Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs). These preferences function as a guideline as well as an orientation established by Society of Jesus for 2019 to 2029. UAPs deal with 4 big concerns of the Society namely: to show the way to God through discernment and the Spiritual Exercises; to walk with the poor, the outcasts of the world, those whose dignity has been violated, in a mission of reconciliation and justice; to accompany young people in the creation of a hope-filled future; to collaborate in the care of our Common Home. The conference amplifies at least one of these UAPs and becomes a good opportunity to strengthen our commitment to support them academically. Therefore, I position this conference as an appropriate and a timely response to the civilization’s call to all of us in embracing one of the most crucial global problem that will affect million people whom mostly are the poor. I do hope the conference becomes a good avenue not only to discuss our research findings but also to facilitate a fruitful dialogue in which sharing knowledge, values and awareness on ‘environmental issues’ takes place with joy and respect to each other. It is through such an orientation that we can proactively contribute to solve our urgent global problem. May the conference be successful and enjoyable, for God Almighty always bless our efforts. Thank you.

  • The Benefits of Developing Students' Characters in Higher Education
    ACADEMIA ISSN, 2241-1402 http://hepnet.upatras.gr Number 20-21, 2020 Service-learning in Indonesia: The benefits of developing students’ characters in higher education Luisa Diana Handoyo1, Paidi2 and Paulus3 Suparno Yogyakarta State University, Sanata Dharma University Abstract This study provides an overview of the application of service-learning for the development of students’ character. There are three aspects to be analyzed in this research, i.e. procedures to apply service- learning, procedures to select service-learning participants, and benefits of service-learning to the development students’ character. A qualitative approach is used to review journal articles regarding the implementation of service-learning in Indonesia. In the current study, 15 research studies were found to meet the particular criteria. Results suggest that a service-learning program in higher education in Indonesia involves the procedures of implementation, procedures to select participants, and benefits to the development of students’ character. Service-learning was generally integrated into lectures with non- live-in procedures (60%), while the remainder (40%) applied live-in procedures. The majority of the service-learning participants (86.67%) were selected to participate because they attended the course that implemented service learning. In relation to the benefits of service-learning, it can be concluded that service-learning can develop students’ social care, communication skills, responsibility, creativity, hard work, discipline, and tolerance. Key-words Service-learning, character, social care, communicative, responsibility. 1 Department of Science Education, Yogyakarta State University, Yogyakarta and Department of Biology Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sanata Dharma University, Indonesia, [email protected]. 2 Department of Biology Education, Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Yogyakarta State University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

  • 1 How Cognitive Frames About Nature May Affect Felt Sense of Nature
    How cognitive frames about nature may affect felt sense of nature connectedness Nadine Andrews The Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business Lancaster University UK [email protected] ABSTRACT Nature connectedness tends to be understood as a relatively stable trait, studied using survey-based methods. But this approach is not well suited to investigating the nuances and unconscious processes of subjective experience. This paper addresses these limitations by using an alternative approach. I analyse the lived experience of nature connectedness using a post-positivist transdisciplinary methodology. Research participants report restorative benefits from connecting with nature but tensions and inconsistencies in their felt sense of connectedness can also be discerned. Using frame and metaphor analysis, I explore how particular ways of conceptualising nature, which can be inferred by use of language, may be contributing to these tensions and inconsistencies. The analysis and interpretation I offer is informed by concepts and theories from ecopsychology, environmental philosophy, cognitive linguistics and ecolinguistics. In this paper, language is understood to be a psychosocial phenomenon. In the research participants’ accounts I find language that promotes the non-human natural world as an object, that abstracts and homogenises living beings and their habitats, that encourages seeing nature as external and separate, and that primes us to be fast and busy. How these conceptualisations could affect sense of connectedness is discussed. The insights generated in this paper contribute to our understanding of nature connectedness as a subjective experience, and the ways in which particular conceptualisations may affect the quality of this experience. The paper also shows the methodological potential of frames and metaphor analysis, and the contribution that ecolinguistics can make to ecopsychology research.

  • Normalizing Human-Animal Power Relations Through Media: Zoo Discourses in Turkey
    Makale gönderilme tarihi: 21.06.2019 Makale kabul tarihi: 9.10.2019 Normalizing Human-Animal Power Relations Through Media: Zoo Discourses in Turkey Sezen Ergin Zengin Dr. Araştırma Görevlisi [email protected] Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Orcid: 0000-0001-5927-5357 Abstract This study examines zoo discourses on media as a conve- nient site for probing into human-animal power relations. A form of critical discourse analysis is carried out in national daily news discourse focusing on how zoo discourses portray animals through lexical choices, grammatical structures, and discursive strategies of capitalism, hospitality, and conservation. These strategies over- all operate to conceal the domination, oppression, and suffering of captive wild animals behind the benevolent image of the zoo insti- tution promoting conservation, education, and recreation. Through language, animals are constructed, on a superficial level, as sub- jects who enjoy their lives on natural habitats with their families. Yet further analysis reveals a power abuse in which animals are objectified and commodified for an exclusively human agenda. The study concludes that through the naturalizing effect of discourses human dominance over wild animals are never questioned and the zoos grant animals an instrumental value rather than inherent value. Key Words: Zoos, news discourses, critical animal studies, speciesism, critical discourse analysis DOI:10.16878/gsuilet.580339 10 İleti-ş-im 31 • aralık/december/décembre 2019 Normalisation des relations de pouvoir entre l’homme et l’animal par le biais des médias: le discours sur les zoos en Turquie Résumé Cette étude analyse le discours portant sur les zoos dans les médias, qui nous permettent d’analyser les relations de pouvoir entre l’homme et l’animal.

This study employed hermeneutic phenomenology since it described and interpreted the meanings of ELS students lived experience. The participants of this study were the three ELS students considered to be illuminating from the three different streams batch of 2015. In this study we used one-on-one in depth interview to gain the data. The find- ings of this study consisted of four prefigured meanings and two emergent meanings namely a) authentic learning, b) learner autonomy, c) cooperative learning, d) multiple intelligences, e) understanding others, and f) personal development. The findings of this study gave impli- cations not only to the ELS students and lecturers, but also to the audience. Lastly, recom- mendations were also addressed to the ELS students as their habit formation, to the ELS lec- turers as their inputs to give more feedbacks to their students, and to the future researchers. Keywords: Lived experience, project-based learning. From the very beginning of the study tures to Problem Based Learning implemen- time until the end of the program, the ELS tation are an anchor of the activity, a task, lecturers always asked their students to cre- an investigation, provision of resources, ate certain projects or assignments in group scaffolding, collaboration, and opportunities or individually.

  • Ecolinguistics: the Battlefield for the New Class Struggle?
    Language & Ecology 2020 http://ecolinguistics-association.org/journal I nternational Ecolinguistics Association Article Ecolinguistics: The battlefield for the new class struggle? Diego L. Forte University of Buenos Aires, Argentina E-mail: [email protected] Abstract According to its founding fathers, ecolinguistics was conceived as a discipline whose object of study is the relationship of language with its environment; that is, the relationship between humans and non-human animals, plants, minerals, etc. (Fill & Mühlhäusler, 2001). Although its formal beginnings as a discipline occurred at the end of the twentieth century, its background brings together a multitude of critical studies based on well-established traditions, such as critical animal studies, decolonial studies, glotopolitical studies, etc., adopting as framework and theoretical tools different elements from different linguistic subdisciplines: critical discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, etc. But due to this broad approach, at times its critical perspective seems to blur: its “ecological” approach goes after the shallow environmentalism posed by the Brundtland Report (1987) moving away from the Marxian logic of class struggle and does not deepen its analysis enough to identify actors and processes in social practices. Our proposal argues that the critical effectiveness of the discipline must not only be based on a reworking of the concept of social classes, following Laclau and Mouffe (1985), but that the deconstruction of the logic of hegemony must also include the theoretical perspectives that analyse the situation of other oppressed groups: feminist movements, ethnic, sexual, national divergences, etc. Keywords: ecolinguistics, discourse, Marxism, hegemony, oppressed groups 1. Ecolinguistics as a critical perspective The development of ecolinguistics as a discipline is relatively new.

  • An Interview with Arran Stibbe
    Language & Ecology 2016, www.ecoling.net/journal Ecolinguistics in an International Context: an Interview with Arran Stibbe by Guowen Huang [email protected] Introduction Recently there has been a growing interest in the study of ecolinguistic issues in China, and Chinese scholars approach the field from many different perspectives, including the ecology of language, ecological analysis of discourse, and eco-translation studies. As expected, the newly-published book Ecolinguistics: language, ecology and the stories we live by (Routledge, 2015) by Arran Stibbe is becoming popular in China and its Chinese translation is to be published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in Beijing later in the year. Along with this encouraging moment, an ecology-centred journal in China, the Journal of Poyang Lake, is to have a Special Column in a forthcoming issue featuring Arran’s research on ecolinguistics. I (Guowen Huang) am directing the project which is translating Arran’s book and producing the special column for the Journal of Poyang Lake. I am Director of the Centre for Ecolinguistics at South China Agricultural University (SCAU), China, as well as Dean of the College of Foreign Studies at SCAU. I have previously conducted a significant amount of research on Systemic Functional Linguistics and have been teaching and researching ecolinguistics from the perspective of ecological analysis of discourse. I am organizing the first symposium on ecolinguistics in China, to be held during Nov. 25-27, 2016 at SCAU in Guangzhou, which has attracted more than 200 abstracts/participants, including more than 30 ecolinguistic scholars from outside China.
