The aesthetic is considered in modern ecocriticism. This article reads the olive tree metaphor in Mahmoud Darwish's “The Second Olive Tree" to argue that neither the anthropocentric approach of human-centeredness nor the biocentric one of nature-centeredness is proper to depicting the indissoluble interconnectedness between binaries such as nature/culture, matter/mind, and human/non-human worlds. So, in light of the cultural ecology of Hubert Zapf, this paper proposes ecocultural reading as a solution to the dualistic views of these binaries. Such a reading acknowledges the mutual relationship between nature and culture, mind and matter, and human and non-human worlds as well as their dynamic and evolutionary interrelationships. At the same time, this reading does not cross the boundaries between them. It is also a way of cultural self-renewal when empowering marginalized or excluded interconnected patterns and of imaginative counter-discourses of this dualistic approach. Furthermore, the cultural ecology paradigm, as a transdisciplinary undertaking, contributes to ecocriticism and environmental humanitiess.
