El enfoque erotético en ecocrítica

This article proposes an erotetic approach to define the ecocritical research program, analyzingthe interrelationship between the conceptual frameworks of ecology and literary critical theory.A common structure based on problem agendas is suggested, enriching both scientific practiceand teaching. The main objective is to demonstrate how the formulation of questions significantlycontributes to the creation of open problem agendas that guide research, fostering the developmentof new hypotheses and promoting interdisciplinarity in research programs facing ecological challenges. The methodology includes a review of the theoretical structure of ecocriticism and how problem agendas provide methodological flexibility, allowing for the reformulation of questions as new data, technologies, and approaches emerge. The results highlight the importance of questioningin environmental sciences to redefine new research agendas, integrating conceptual frameworksnot unified by a central theory. Ecocriticism is framed as a research program structured erotetically, much like ecology. The conclusions emphasize the interdependence between questions, problemagendas, and critical reflection on the scientific method, underscoring the creativity and utilityof questioning and abductive hypotheses for a more suitable scientific practice, aligned with theurgency of the ecological crisis.
