This course explores global fiction concerned with the ecosystem and climate change. The selected stories go beyond literary aesthetics and depict previously unknown environmental situations, forcing change in social connections and significant anthropo-psychological adaptations. In that chaos, the course questions Universal Human Rights, specifically its articles about freedom, equality, and discrimination when the ecosystem turns the world upside down. No prerequisites.
