- Abstract
- In this paper, I analyse the discourse of identification between ethnic identity and natural environment of the French far-right ecologist voices, and compare it with similar identification practices in medieval scientific and literary culture. In the late-medieval French romance Perceforest, in particular, we observe a vision of nature that can serve a message of political and cultural conquest. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Perceforest's specific political ecology, by imagining nature as a product of human cultural structures and as a witness to human constant migrations, circumvents the attempts to use the environment as a discriminatory weapon against an ethnic/cultural group.
