Book review Juan Ignacio Oliva, ed. Realidad y simbología de la montaña. Alcalá de Henares: Publicaciones Universidad de Alcalá, 2012

Abstract

Realidad y simbología de la montaña, first volume in the “Cultura, Literatura y Medio Ambiente” (CLYMA) series, is the result of the collaborative efforts of the Grupo de Investigación en Ecocrítica, Instituto Franklin - UAH (GIECO), a research group consisting of scholars at the University of Alcalá and other institutions from Spain and the United States. GIECO is the leading ecocritical group in Spain, and during the last few years its members have worked towards establishing the foundations of ecocritical studies in Spain. Besides the present volume, the group has also published several numbers of Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature, Culture and Environment, and other joint publications such as Paisajes Culturales: Herencia y Conservación (2010), where the scholar analysis is put in contrast with the practical aspects of politics.
