| Summary: | The article introduces blue ecocriticism into Czech literary studies by reviewing Steve Mentz’s volume An Introduction to the Blue Humanities (2023). It briefly outlines the circumstances of the cultural turn to the seas and oceans around the year 2000 and its current shift from the Mediterranean and North Atlantic to the more global Pacific, as well as from the seas and oceans to the planetary water cycle. It will take a closer look at Mentz’s blue strategies, interpretations, inspirations, and problems, to conclude by considering the potential of blue ecocriticism for the (seemingly) landlocked Czech intellectual climate. |
