Master’s thesis Ecocritical analysis of the Drava River in Slovenian poetry will engage in ecocritical analysis of Slovenian poetry written in the twentieth century. In addition to canonized Slovenian poets, “poets-amateurs” are also included in the work due to their realistic representation of nature, which is interesting to interpret from ecocritical perspective. An analysis of literary works from the perspective of ecocriticism will chronologically show how human attitudes towards nature have been established over the years and decades. The analyzed poems have in common the theme of the Drava River, in addition, each of them contains one or more of the moral-ethical and ideological attitudes of the autor towards nature and environment. Ecocritical reading of these literary works will try to reveal the author’s implicit attitudes towards nature/environment. By discovering the author’s ideological attitude towards nature, we can determine whether the author supports the established dualism of man/nature or if it annauls it and offers an ecological way of perceiving nature. Accordingly, we will determine whether the author obeys the established social practice of subordinating nature or offers new ecological soulutions and recognizes nature as an independent subject. To answer these questions, we will introduce the theory of ecocriticism, the perspective of green reading.
