Consuming Nature and Performing Environmentalism: Wordsworth’s Ecological Resistance and the Cultural Politics of Climate Awareness in Urban India

Author(s) Mr. Abhijit Deb
Country India
Abstract This study will examine William Wordsworth’s “The World Is Too Much with Us” in relation to contemporary environmental discourse in urban India, connecting the Romantic tradition of ecological thought with contemporary Environmental Humanities and cultural studies. The study will re-examine Wordsworth’s critique of materialism and its effects on alienation between humans and nature, contextualizing it with the backdrop of urbanization, consumerist models of sustainability, and the increasing visibility of climate awareness in urban India. The main argument will be that contemporary environmentalism takes symbolic and lifestyle-related forms, including green consumerism, eco-branding, and mediated forms of environmental activism, wherein concern with nature often takes a cultural form that is symbolic, rather than being grounded in actual lived experiences. In this context, this study will explore how the emphasis on emotional and ethical relations with nature, which was a hallmark of Romantic ecological thought, intersects with consumerist models of sustainability, including poetry as a form of environmental resistance against dominant discourses on development and consumption. The paper seeks to illustrate the continued relevance of the Romantic ecological tradition to the cultural politics of climate awareness and environmental alienation in twenty-first-century India.
Keywords Wordsworth; Eco-criticism; Environmental Humanities; Climate Awareness; Urban Environmentalism.
