Ecofeminism and Allied Issues


Free Download Dipanwita Pal, Prasun Banerjee, "Ecofeminism and Allied Issues"
English | ISBN: 1527566803 | 2024 | 170 pages | PDF | 1 MB
Ecofeminism is an emerging field of literary study which seeks to explore the interconnections between feminism and ecology, green studies and market economy, and globalization and the politics of care. It also examines the idea of nature as a mother figure, and the world being begotten by the celestial intercourse between Nature, the Mother and God, the Father. This branch of study is taking center stage in the realm of gender studies, but it is yet to develop into a full school of thought, as new dimensions are constantly being attached to it.
