애니메이션 『늑대아이』에 나타난 여성성과 돌봄 연구 - 에코페미니즘적 관점 -

본 논문은 호소다 마모루의 영화 『늑대아이』속 여성성과 돌봄에 대하여 에코페미니즘적 관점으로 분석하였다. 에코페미니즘은 근대사회가 세계를 양분하여 위계의 구조를 만들어 자연과 여성을 억압하여 왔음에 주목하여 위계의 구조를 극복하고 상호 협력의 조화를 추구한다. 근대사회는 효율성을 통한 극대화라는 특성에 따라 남성과 여성의 역할을 양분하였고 일본의 경우 여성교육에 순종과 온유를 교육하고 근대국가 건설을 위하여 현모를 요청하였다. 돌봄 또한 그 역할의 특성으로 인하여 여성의 역할로 보는 경우가 많으나 성별에 따른 특성이 아닌 상호 의존성에 대한 것이다. 이것은 모든 생명이 협력과 보살핌에 의해 유지된다고 보는 에코페미니즘 관점과 함께한다. 힘든 일이 있어도 웃는‘하나’의 모습은 고통을 감내하고 헌신을 요구하는 성향을 여성성으로 인식하고 있음을 엿볼 수 있게 한다.‘하나’는 아이들을 돌보는데 있어서 아이들의 요구에 반응하여 준다. 돌보는 역할만 하던 그녀는 어렵고 힘든 귀농생활을 돌봐주는 이웃을 만난다. 이처럼 돌봄을 주고받는 모습을 통해 돌봄의 상호성을 확인 할 수 있게 한다. 애니메이션 『늑대아이』는 모든 생명체의 다양성을 원천으로 보존하고 존중하는 의미가 담긴 작품으로 시사하는 바가 크다.

Kebakaran Hutan dan Lahan Gambut: Kajian Teologi Ekofeminisme

Smog disaster in Sumatera and Kalimantan Island that came from forest and land burnings showed many interconnected factors. Governmental ideologies factor in development era (e.g. modernization, industrialization, and capitalization in order to increase economics development), lands problems as an impact of development ideologies, corruption, and prestige culture in society (e.g. consumerism, wealthy, succedness, and honor greediness) had participation in this disaster. From the perspective of ecofeminism, this ecological crisis came from an ideology named anthroposentrism, which also an androsentrism. Human interests that became priority in industrial society, especially men who held economics and politics power, was the cause of these ecological damages. The nature of patriarchal system is domination and exploitation who derived from hierarchal dualistic ideology become sources of ecological damage. In this context, economic development factor and life progress became main concern. Finally nature being grinded and became tools to achieve human interests (anthroposentrism). However, in this context women felt chaos very deeply. Women worked to produce family needs with nature. The damage of nature made women work harder. By seeing these conditions, we were invited by ecofeminism to do radical awareness transformation. This transformation was based on the understanding of our local wisdom.

Moving towards Home: An Ecofeminist Reading of Suheir Hammad’s Born Palestinian, Born Black

<p>This paper explores Suheir Hammad’s collection of poetry, <em>Born Palestinian, Born Black</em> from the perspective of ecofeminism. The discussion is focused on investigating the representations of Hammad’s double consciousness of Palestinianness and blackness and displaying the dual domination of women and nature embedded in the society of the homeland she left behind. The poems reveal that she depicts the two-ness of her consciousness by highlighting the psycho-social tensions she experiences in the two social contexts- the homeland and the current society of exile. Further, the anthology exhibits the sense of alignment between Palestinianness and blackness in her eyes that is manifested through a form of poetic kinship. They provide an understanding into her varied experience that transcends the limits of cultures and gives birth to a new ecofeminist perspective that promotes diversity. By explicating these crossroads imaged in her poetry, we hope to provide some insights into Hammad’s endeavors that complement those of recent ecofeminists, thereby setting up a common ground for building a symbiotic and ecofeministic society in which there is no male oppression or human exploitation.</p>

An Eco-feminist Reading of Love Medicine

Louise Erdrich is one of the most prolific, important and successful contemporary native American writers. Love Medicine is her representative work. And it represents the lives of Chippewa Indians in reservation. This paper aims to analyze traditional Indian women’s relationship with nature from the perspective of eco-feminism.

In men’s eyes, women and the nature are just something inferior and attached to them. However, the Indian women don’t yield. They unite together and make the best use of their close relationship with nature, rebuilding the harmony between men and women, man and nature, thus gaining more freedom and power and elevating their social status.

The paper focuses on nature and culture in a post-apocalyptic world, which becomes devoid of life and culture and poses a question of further existence of nature in the world. The works of the Latvian writer Gundega Repse and the American writer Cormac McCarthy are analysed in a comparative way to see how nature, set on a bleak stage with the only decoration of empty houses, can give a promise of further existence.
