Abstract

Literary discourses that artistically manifest the link between nature and childhood show different ways to maintain the inclusion of childhood in the aestheticization of nature. The links between the natural and the human are observed as a representation of the social function of art created for children. We introduce concepts that bring us closer to an eco-criticism of literature, in contemporary texts, poetry, literary traditions and the picture book.
