The Wonderland of Ecopedagogy

Abstract

This paper argues for a reinterpretation of canonical school texts, in this case Alice in Wonderland, in search for an ecopedagogical reading that enables to construe empathy with other-than-human beings. By analyzing the shift in power structures of the relations between Alice and the beings of Wonderland, a path of empathy can be traced towards a biocentric perspective both of language construction, and real-life activism.
