Projectomschrijving

This project approaches Oromo oral fables from Ethiopia from different ecocritical perspectives. In particular, we aim to critically question the notions of anthropomorphism and limitrophes through analyses of the interaction between human and non-human characters. Fables offer a unique opportunity to do so, and the study can be an important contribution to debates on Oromo oral literature, ecocritical analysis and zoopoetics.
