Ecocriticism and Ecofeminism

 Hello  readers!
   Here on my blog.     Have give my opinion  on  ecocriticism and  ecofeminism.  Click here.  Ecocriticism   and ecofeminism  is   different.   Some questions  related  this  tow topic.

Question:1   what  do  you  understand  by the theory of  Ecocriticism?
   Answer  :  Ecocriticism  is study  of literature  and the environment  from an interdisciplinary point   of view,  where  literature  scholars  analyze  texts  that illustrate  environmental  concerns  and  examine the  varios ways  literature   treats the subject  of nature.  Cheryll  Glotfelty's  working   definition  in th Ecocriticism  reader  is that   " Ecocriticism  is  the  study  of the  relationship  between  literature  and the  psychical  environment." And one of the  implicit  goals  of the  approach  is to  recoup professional   dignity  for  what  Glotfelty   calls the  "  undervalued   sense  of nature   writing.


Question:2 what is your  understanding  of ecofeminism?
Answer:  Click here.
 Ecofeminism   is a  branch of feminism  that  sees environmentalism,  and the  relationship  between  women and the warth, as foundational to its analysis  and practices.   Ecofeminist  thinkers draw on the concept of gender  ti analyse  the relationship between  humans  and  the  natural  world.
  Ecofeminism,  like  the social movements  it  has  emerged  from  , is both  political activism  and  intellectual   critique.   Bringing   to gether feminism  and environmentalism,  ecofeminism  argues  that  the  denomination  of women and the degradation  of  the   environment   are  consequences   of  patriarch  and  capitalism.  Any strategy  to  address  one    take in to  account  its  impact  on the  other  so that  women's  equality  should  not be achieved  at  the  expense  of  worsening  the environment  and  neither  shoud  environmental  improvements  be  gained  at the  expense of women. Indeed,  ecofeminism   proposes   that  only  by   reversing  current  values,  tgere by   privileging  care  and  cooperation   over   more  aggressive   and  dominating  behaviors,   can  both society and  environment  benefit.
   The  notion  that  women's  and   environmental  domination  are  linked  has  been  develooed  in   number  of  ways.

  Thank you.....
