Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- FOREWORD -- PREFACE -- CHAPTER 1 The Rhetorics of Critical Ecofeminism: Conceptual Connection and Reasoned Response -- CHAPTER 2 Into the Wild: An Ecofeminist Perspective on the Human Control of Canine Sexuality and Reproduction -- CHAPTER 3 Gender Representations in Orangutan Primatological Narratives: Essentialist Interpretations of Sexuality, Motherhood, and Women -- CHAPTER 4 Invitational Rhetoric: Alternative Rhetorical Strategy as Ecofeminist Practice for Transformation of Perception and Use of Energy in the Residential Built Environment from the Keweenaw to Kerala -- CHAPTER 5 Ecofeminist Ethics and Digital Technology: A Case Study of Microsoft Word -- AFTERWORD -- EPILOGUE Unwrapping the Enigma of Ecofeminism: A Solution to the Illusion of Incoherence -- NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS -- INDEX
Summary: By drawing on the complex interplay of ecology and feminism, ecofeminists identify links between the domination of nature and the oppression of women. This volume introduces a variety of innovative approaches for advancing ecofeminist activism, demonstrating how words exert power in the world. Contributors explore the interconnections between the dualisms of nature/culture and masculine/feminine, providing new insights into sex and technology through such wide-ranging topics as canine reproduction, orangutan motherhood and energy conservation. Ecofeminist rhetorics of care address environmental problems through cooperation and partnership, rather than hierarchical subordination, encouraging forms of communication that value mutual understanding over persuasion and control. By critically examining ways that theory can help deconstruct domineering practices—exposing the underlying ideologies—a new generation of ecofeminist scholarship illuminates the transformative capacity of language to foster emancipation and liberation.
