الملخص:The starting point for this paper is the growing popularity of environmental writing as a scholarly, journalistic, literary practice. Four issues are analyzed: 1) the presence of environmental writing in university curricula and the problems of establishing its subject matter; 2) the rationale for the popularity of fragmentary storytelling and its two accompanying strategies: gleaning and assembling; 3) the role that environmental writing has played in recent years in the new humanities; 4) the expansion of the notion of environmental humanities by narrative forms introduced by authors professionally engaged in practices in the field of natural-cultural geography. In this way, environmental humanities are the product of writing practices running in two directions: from humanities to environmental studies and from sciences to humanities, which is the thesis of this paper.
