Abstract

This study explores how environmental ethics affect the balance of nature in Frank Herbert’s The Green Brain. Using suprasegmental analysis and intertextual analysis as methodological frameworks, this study investigates how narratives sensitize human consciousness towards nature, particularly through the concepts of Barrow’s (anthropocentric ethics, ecocentric ethics, biocentric ethics) and Carley and Christie’s (technocratic environmental ethics and managerial environmental ethics). The findings emphasize the novel’s depiction of ecological interdependence and its role in reshaping environmental consciousness through narrative structure. The research further reveals that literary narratives, particularly speculative fiction, serve as powerful vehicles for challenging dominant anthropocentric paradigms and fostering ecological awareness. By critically examining the symbolic and thematic dimensions of The Green Brain, this study underscores the importance of narrative in cultivating ethical responsibility toward nonhuman life forms. Literature is not merely reflective but also transformative, enabling readers to reconsider moral assumptions about nature. Ultimately, the novel serves as a critique of human environmental domination and a vision of sustainable coexistence grounded in mutual respect, balance, and ecological humility.

Abstract

This study aims to identify central themes and analyze the construction of civil conflict in the novel The Monkey Wrench Gang. The novel depicts civil conflict as a form of resistance against infrastructure development, which is built through environmental degradation, political oppression, and moral dilemmas of resistance. To explore this, this study applies a discourse analysis framework supported by Julia Kristeva's concepts of suprasegmental and intertextuality. The suprasegmental aspect is analyzed through Jan Renkema's psycholinguistic approach, integrating Mandler and Johnson's story grammar theory to analyze narrative structure. Intertextuality is explored to reveal how the novel's discourse connects to broader socio-political and ecological realities, through the lens of James Paul Gee's discourse, language, identity, and the social dynamics of the characters are critically analyzed to reveal that civil resistance is not only a political or environmental act, but also a moral struggle—where characters must choose between personal ethics and destructive resistance. This research contributes to education by encouraging critical engagement with literature to understand ecological resistance, civic responsibility, and moral complexity. It provides insights into how fiction can shape environmental awareness and challenges learners to reflect on justice, activism, and human impact through discourse.
