Abstract

The emphasis on affections arises in response to the transformations and challenges imposed by the current sociocultural context. One, or perhaps the greatest of these challenges, refers us to the concept of the Anthropocene, a geological era in which the human species has become a geological force. From environmental studies, affective ecocriticism emerges as a new approach that recovers the dimension of emotions in public life and the ways in which we approach our environment. This work aims at exploring in Distintas formas de mirar el agua (2015) by Julio Llamazares, the emotions generated by the construction of a dam and the flooding of the habitat of the region’s inhabitants, particularly focusing on the emotions of Domingo’s family, who had to leave their home to start anew elsewhere. The text will be approached from the perspective of affective ecocriticism.
