...MoreAuthor of perhaps the most rigorous definition of “ecocriticism” in literary theory, Camilo Gomides, PhD, is broadly interested in how rhetoric impacts conservation and can motivate audiences to live within limits. Gomides has published in Interdisciplinary Studies of Environment and Literature (ISLE), OMETECA Sciences and Humanities, and The Tulane Environmental Law Journal on diverse themes, ranging from ecological debt and Columbus’ Diary to consilience and Don Quijote to geopiracy, i.e., the falsification of location in the visual arts. His book Amazonia in the Arts: Ecocriticism versus the Economics of Deforestation, co-authored with Joseph Henry Vogel, is forthcoming in English and Spanish from the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO-Ecuador). Trilingual in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, he has also translated technical articles into and from those languages for academic journals and professional societies. At the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras, Gomides teaches Portuguese language and Brazilian literature and cinema.
