Critical Ecofeminism

Mehr zum Buch

Val Plumwood introduces "critical ecofeminism," emphasizing the interconnectedness of human and non-human ethical considerations within ecological contexts. Her work addresses feminist perspectives on ecopolitical issues such as toxic waste, indigenous rights, global justice, and colonialism. Plumwood's framework, predating posthumanist theory, highlights the animacy of all earth others and uncovers the connections between various forms of oppression. This approach lays a foundation for activism and interdisciplinary scholarship, advocating for coalitions that challenge dominant ideologies.
