Discussion
Watch Princess Mononoke, and then, analyze the film according to the previous four weeks' reading. What does the film suggest about the causes and solutions of human alienation from nature? Do the film's insights fit with Cronon (from Week One)? With White (from Week Two)? Is the film's point of view closer to deep ecology or agrarianism (from Weeks Three and Four)?
Review your classmates' posts. As you analyze their interpretation of the film, consider playing devil's advocate and attempt to show how their analysis does not capture the essence of the either film or the authors they compare to the film. If you agree with others, enhance the discussion by including more supporting evidence from the articles or from your own outside research.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
