Ecocriticism? Or, not taking the word "environment" too literally, could it be historicism?

Historicism, New Historicism, or maybe even Marxist literary theory.
I've never heard of ecocriticism. Is there such a thing?
The term is Eco-Criticism and it has been popular recently.

By environment do could you mean the natural environment: forests, wildlife, like general stuff like that? If so it could be some sort of mimetic theory. However, I suppose the better thing for you to do is study more.

If by "environment" you mean "cultural environment," the word you may be looking for is deconstructionism. Related key words are "Derrida" and "postmodernism."
