Abstract
An ecocritical analysis of Nicaraguan autor Gioconda Belli’s work, who was
born in 1948, reveals that the author usually homogenizes the environment,
treating it in generic terms as an ornament, without the knowledge of the local
specific qualities nor the systems whose scope cover the global. According to Val
Plumwood in Environmental Culture: The Ecological Crisis of Reason, “the model
promotes insensitivity to the marvelous diversity of nature, since differences in
nature are attended to only if they are likely to contribute in some obvious way to
human welfare” (Plumwood 107). This feature of her poetics distinguishes Belli
from the vast number of Nicaraguans of the general population who do know to
name many members of their biological community, to incorporate them into their
lives as remedy for a great variety of common diseases and also to use them as
very expressive figures in everyday conversation.
