요약Synthetic pesticides are laboratory-produced chemicals that are used in the agricultural industry to kill organisms deemed harmful to crop production. Pesticides are also widely used in businesses, home gardens, and urban landscaping projects. As a category, pesticides include insecticides (which target bugs), herbicides (plants), and fungicides (mushrooms). Despite proven links to health risks and environmental degradation, the use of synthetic pesticides has abated little since their widespread adoption post-World War 2. Considering the history of pesticide use in France, this dissertation argues that the effects of these chemicals can be discovered not only in ecosystems and bodies but in language as well. To make this argument, this dissertation presents the figure of the critical ecolinguist, a researcher who takes for her object of study the ways in which the environment and language function together as media of social conflict. With regard to pesticides, the critical ecolinguist carries out her research by asking how pesticides produce silences, fractures, and hierarchies within the extended ecology of language. Borrowed from the field of ecolinguistics, the extended ecology of language is a concept that names both the relationships created by language use within a given environment as well as the restrictions or conditions this environment places on language use. The silences, fractures, and hierarchies discovered by the critical ecolinguist within extended ecologies of language index, in everyday life, power relations that have for their origin the continued use of pesticides. The totality of these relations across time and space is referred to in this dissertation as the pesticidal world.To elaborate this conceptual framework, this dissertation proceeds via the analysis of a corpus of literary and filmic works united in their reflection on the role of language in the maintenance of the pesticidal world. Gisele Bienne's La Malchimie (2019), Coco Tassel's La ou l'herbe est plus verte (2023), and Jessica Oublie's Tropiques toxiques (2020) each offer complementary insights into this problem. By drawing from different geographies and histories, the texts of this dissertation's corpus allow for a multi-scalar perception of the pesticidal world's power structures. Furthermore, as each of these works documents its own creation, they together reveal another aspect of the critical ecolinguist's research, which is an investigation into the value accorded to her own linguistic production within the pesticidal world. In this way, the critical ecolinguist opens the question of how media like books and film interact with the extended ecology of language's mediation of social conflict. In doing so, the critical ecolinguist unites the fields of ecocriticism and ecolinguistics. These fields were both founded on an inquiry into the relationship between environmental destruction and language production; both have historically lacked nuanced models to describe this relationship. Through its conceptual apparatus, this dissertation responds to this absence. In doing so, it forwards the novel argument that language is a medium where pesticides' historic effects-as well as fallout from other forms of ecocide-can be traced and felt.
