요약This dissertation compares competing political ecologies and environmental aesthetics in Costa Rica during the first half of the twentieth century. It examines a range of literature, visual art, and other cultural objects related to the banana plantations of the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica. The dissertation begins with the history of the United Fruit Company and a critique of the cultural consequences of the emergence of the modern banana on Costa Rica, the United States, and modernity itself. It argues that the United Fruit Company, through the development of the modern plantation system on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, also produced a particular way of seeing and relating to nature-an environmental aesthetic and political ecology based on the logic of the plantation. The focus then shifts to the work of Costa Rican writers: Carmen Lyra, a kindergarten teacher, feminist activist, and founder of the local communist party; and Carlos Luis Fallas, a plantation worker and union organizer. The dissertation demonstrates the crucial place of ecology in their literary work as foundational texts of the country's environmental movement, as well as within primary education and organized labor. It argues that these intellectuals used literature to produce competing environmental aesthetics and political ecologies, employing the concepts of creole garden, plant-thinking, communist subjectivity, utopia, and realism. The dissertation proposes that this form of critical, plant-based, pedagogical literature produced by Carmen Lyra, Carlos Luis Fallas, and others constitutes a form of revolutionary political ecology and environmental aesthetics that enables alternative forms of living and thinking in an age of apparent environmental and political catastrophe.
