This lecture analyzes the symbolism of nature in the poetry of Daniel Faria through the lenses of the environmental humanities and ecocriticism, situating his work within a critical movement that problematizes traditional dichotomies between nature and culture, human and non-human, visible and invisible. From a non-anthropocentric perspective, the talk argues that, although Daniel Faria’s poetry cannot be classified as explicitly posthumanist, a strong “ecological force” emanates from it, understood as a symbolic and ontological relationship between the human, the home, and the natural world.
