Ecofeminism in Dialogue

Obavesti me kada knjiga bude dodata

There are countless ways of thinking, feeling, and acting like an ecofeminist. Ecofeminism includes a plurality of perspectives, thriving in dialogue between diverse theories and practices involving ecological and feminist matters of concern. Deepening the dialogue, the contributors in this anthology explore critical and complementary interactions between ecofeminism and other areas of inquiry, including ecocriticism, postcolonialism, geography, environmental law, religion, geoengineering, systems thinking, family therapy, and more. This volume aims to further the cultural and literary theories of ecofeminism by situating them in conversation with other interpretations and analyses of intersections between environment, gender, and culture. This anthology is a unique combination of contemporary, interdisciplinary, and global perspectives in dialogue with ecofeminism, supporting academic and activist efforts to resist oppression and domination and cultivate care and justice.

hus, ecofeminism finds itself necessarily opposed to capitalism and colonialism at a material and ideological level, and must align itself with discourses of post-colonialism and anti-capitalism to suggest alternatives and resistance to the hierarchies of conquering and domesticating. Though ecofeminism makes women central to its analysis in ways post-colonialism and anti-capitalism are not necessarily committed to, an allegiance between post-colonial, anti-capitalist, and ecofeminist discourses and politics yields useful strategies and possibilities.

I then suggest that science fiction is an ideal medium within which to analyze resistance to capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy, as a genre that has been, from its inception, intertwined with each, and with the exploitation of women and the environment.

Ecofeminist Maria Mies has argued convincingly that “progress” in both capitalist and colonial terms has been established through the gendered division of labor on a global scale. While men’s labor is linked to science, technology, and production, the “housewifization” of women’s productive labor renders them invisible as workers (Mies 1986, 97). In addition, feminized reproductive labor—such as cooking, cleaning, and childrearing—is not recognized as labor within a capitalist framework though, as Mies and others have noted, it makes men’s productive labor possible.
