Komiks Maailmanlopun maisemissa Amandy Vähämäki – próba analizy ekokrytycznej

The chapter Amanda Vähämäki’s “Maailmanlopun maisemissa”—an Approach of Ecocritical Analysis by Joanna Elantkowska-Białek presents an analysis of the graphic novel Maailmanlopun maisemmissa by Finnish artist Amanda Vähämäki. The critical approach is based on Nicole Seymour’s project of „Irreverent Ecocriticism”. The chapter examines comics’ heroes and events in light of affects, absurd and failures, which are found in the oeuvre. The aim of the analysis is to bring “new knowledge” about humans and their attitude towards the environment in Vähämäki’s “unserious” text. I expect that this analysis will deliver some insights on humans’ way to think and act. „Irreverent Ecocriticism” has been presented as a part of ecocriticism’s development and the comics has been compared to other eco-narratives and dystopias.
